Murderers get out with barely a slap on the wrist. What happens to thieves now a days?

Went down some fun rabbit holes reading up on past "incidents" with the dealer involved in this "theft" case! On a side note, learned that Rich Klein wasn't the originator of Secret Santa...thank you sir for taking that over. Thinking of making it out to my first national next year. This is a good reminder to keep one's situation awareness up when it comes to who your dealing with.

I checked out those other two threads that were mentioned in this thread.
Some pretty wild stuff, but some often amusing stuff.

Not sure if this has been said already or not, but taken right from the article:

"Rick Giddings of Gizmo’s Sportscards of Davis Junction, Ill. reported the alleged theft to Atlantic City police on the final day of The National at the Atlantic City Convention Center.

According to Giddings, who is on the board of directors of The National, the incident occurred between 4 and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 30."


So it happened on Saturday, but he doesn't report it until Sunday.

I know after I'm robbed I like to get a good nights sleep before reporting it a day later.

"DOH!!!!!"

& the $80K loss, was that his cost or his jacked up prices?
I'm sure there's a big difference

In the article, it says that the person who took the cards texted him and said he would see him in the morning, so he apparently decided to wait to see if he showed up, and when he didn't, he called the police. Probably not the best decision, but also probably not the most questionable part of the overall story.

Uh, by the time you open the bag and realize you’ve been taken for a ride … isn’t that a decent time to call the police?

The Net54 rabbit holes suck sometimes. It's like there's 5? minutes of my life gone but, damn, that was entertaining again!
