A few cards stolen- couple questions

[marvjung]

Hi Scott -super sorry to hear about your stuff. I'll be in the Houston area Christmas week (going back home for Christmas - living in Cali now). I was going to spend some time checking out card shops, etc - I'll keep a specific look out for your stuff.

I was wondering, you said the items were stolen from the north side of Houston - could you be more specific? I grew up in the Bear Creek, Cypress, Champions area. Are you more along the Kingwood/Woodlands side?

Sorry to hear, thieves are the lowest form of life

Not to take this thread away from the original poster (who I feel terrible for), but I had a 1940's Negro League program stolen at the National Convention so if you guys could keep your eyes open for that as well I would appreciate it. It is a Homestead Grays program from 1943 I think with Josh Gibson listed inside and the scorecard is a reddish color and in Near Mint condition save a few pencil notations inside about the game. I think the opponant was the New York Cuban Giants but I will need to look it up. It is a unique item so even though I dont have a scan and the description is not concrete, you would know it if you saw it.

Thanks

Sorry for your loss Rhys, good luck getting it back.

It happened on the outskirts of the woodlands.

I talked to the insurance adjuster today and he was nice and I emailed him a list of what was stolen and he said he would get back to me next week. I was lucky in that everything was purchased off ebay in the last two weeks so knowing current value is pretty cut and dry.

Well, since some others are telling their stories, I was at a concert in CT here a few years back w a friend. We left my car at the commuter lot. In hindsight, not smart, it wasnt the most accesible one. Anyways, after having a blast at the show, we returned and found my car broken into. I had sports stuff in car under a blanket and all of it was stolen, plus CD's, stuff thrown on ground, etc. It effectively ended my small time part time dealer on the weekends schedule. Traumatic and horrible indeed. No insurance, and nothing was ever recovered.


On topic tho, Scott, I hope u get your stuff back, or at least decent insurance. What hurts too is if Christmas gifts for family were stolen. Thats really hard.

I Just wanted to give an update on this.

Well I just recieved my claims check from CIS for the full amount ($729) that was stolen. Total time taken to receive from filing was 70 days. Very happy with the service and time to payment. If I had any doubt about the value of collectibles insurance I no longer do, well worth the cost and I will be increasing my policy coverage.

On the other front still no luck finding any of the cards/tickets (

Thanks for the update Scott. At least you got the money back - too bad on the cards.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Hope you the cards back soon.

Have the police fingerprinted the area where the cards
were? With a little bit of luck they can identify the
thieves.

It would not be bad if they were caught, and they got
in the wrong line of fire, or if you decided to use
their heads as a batting practice.

Here is hoping.....
