ALERT....huge, huge BB card collection theft
Jim D
Regarding your........ "From what i gathered is this... the thief knew the owner was away and knew the alarm code....." Obviously, the thief(s) knew the family was away....but, "knew the alarm code" ? ? .... NO SO ! They broke in, disconnected power, and cut the wires to the alarm system. TED Z

ok i stand corrected, you had only said "disabled".... which most would take as being turned off. Shoots a big hole in my theory.
My guess is probably some punks, maybe from the neighborhood, that might have known the family was away. either way, i hope they cut off the persons nutsack!

Ted,
Reading about this makes me want to throw up. I feel horrible for your friend. I look for OJs all of the time. If I had scans to look at I could keep an eye open for any OJs that could pop up for sale.

My apologies, didnt mean to offend anyone. Its alot softer of what i truly wanted to post(and probably many others ) if thats any consolation. I do get wound up when i hear about stuff like this, especially this type of dollar amount. I cant even begin to imagine how upset this guy must be!

Hang the Thieves, Take Two
Although no one has called me on it I hereby acknowledge that my earlier post in this thread was plagiarized verbatim from an older post made by a temporarily exiled Net54er. I thought the writing style would be a tip off. Regardless I am in full agreement with Mr. Dorskind on such matters. A little batting practice on their heads prior to a bilateral orchidectomy doesn't upset this liberal pussy one bit. Hope they catch the asterisks!

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..... Dang it, I'm slipping. The random line breaks also were a tip-off. I must, however, thank you, David, for the opportunity to execute a double quote. Oh, happy day.

I'll keep an eye out in Maine and I Really like Mark's idea for a "lost or Stolen" section. As a security guy, I can assure you that unless you get a real system, they a very easy to disable. It does not take a professional to do it.

Btw
Not to take this thread in a whole new direction; but this situation is another reason for TPG.
And that reason is,.... I would say especially in a case like this; the thieves would leave the cards in the extant holders and if the cards were either scanned or on some registry with information; then they could be easily tied back to the original collection. Just a thought as to why TPG has its uses Rich

so we know whats gone but whats left of the collection. anything significant? anything else taken? Thats a big question in determining if it was targeted. They for sure would have to know what to take and only a friend and the homeowner would know this.

My friends father had a very valuable fossil and gemstone collection in his house some of which was on display. One day the house was broken into and the alarm was also disabled in a similar manner. It turned out that only some stones and some valuable fossils were taken. It took the cops about 2-3 weeks to discover that it was friends of a cable installer that had done the job.

ALERT....huge, huge BB card collection theft
Jim D
My fault, I should have elaborated more than just saying "disabled". They cut wires and disrupted the alarm electronics. I think the thieves are more "professional" than we are surmising. They knew what was high value in BB cards that they took. They left behind many Non-Sports sets, Football sets, and miscel. cards. They also stole antiques and jewelry. Now, it remains to be seen how "smart" they will be in unloading these stolen goods ? TED Z

If your friend is patient and has a careful ey, I'm sure he'll be able to spot serial numbers on the Bay or a major auction. It's something you'll have to be extremely on top of though. I hope he has the serials written down. That's one of the reasons I always photograph my cards in holder. A thief would have to be pretty smart and also pretty patient to break out each card and re-submit them all.

I can only presume that the thieves are reading this thread and now being educated in what not to do will lay low for a long long time.

ALERT....huge, huge BB card collection theft
Steve
There is a possibility that your presumption is true. However, in my opinion, it is very unlikely. In any event, this is overshadowed by the immediate need to make aware the majority of the good people in this hobby of the description of this stolen collection. Correct me if I'm mistaken, I recall that Lionel Carter's stolen collection (while more significant than this one) was quickly recovered by getting the word out to as many in the hobby as pos- sible. Best regards, TED Z
