Indeed. It's amazing how glibly the suspect could swear on his children's lives that he didn't do it.

Not sure why that's amazing. Criminals, and people in general, lie every day of their lives.

You can lie without swearing on your kids' lives that you're telling the truth. I just think that's bad karma. Maybe that's why I'm not a good criminal.

Bad karma for sure.

Walls were clearly closing in and he was getting desperate. Definitely don’t condone anything the perpetrator did, but I suppose it’s not surprising that he would resort to a Hail Mary just because there wasn’t much else he could do by then.

What is still most amazing is that Joe T states that they shipped these boxes regularly (maybe not with this much value) to a hotel that not only had no responsibility to safeguard it but without an agent of the auction house being on site. That puts the contents of those boxes at risk for loss each time. Incredibly irresponsible of the Memory Lane. And just because they had never had a box go missing prior to this event does not justify that they kept doing it.

From what I remember other people saying, Memory Lane isn't the only company that does this.

In my opinion it is reckless to not safeguard your property so I don't care if every dealer there does it. Not the hotel's responsibility to hold valuable packages, which is why they limit their liability. Packages should be held at Fed Ex or shipped to arrive when an agent from the company is on site.

I agree with you. I was just pointing out that your earlier comment was singling out Memory Lane when it appeared to be a somewhat common practice by AHs. I wonder if it still is.
