Big Apple = Boston foreheadslap.gif

 

The only man on earth to put "Big Apple" and Boston together.

 

The news is slow to reach Vermont.

 

Hows the cows, Phil?

This really couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. It's times like this when we can potentially see how powerful these boards really are. When I got ripped off it was thanks to you guys that I was able to get some recourse. I hope we will all keep an eye out for Ted's Books.

that really stinks. I hope Teddy gets his books back -- Can't believe a guy pulled a stack like this and then walked off -- perhaps Ted would recognize him if he saw him again?

 

I was thinking the same thing, that is an awful lot of books to have pulled. Would be interesting to hear what actually happened. Maybe Ted was not even at the booth when it took place.Does anybody know the details?

 

And as Redhook said earlier..are there no eye in the sky Vegas Casino style cameras in large venues like this?

 

If anything, buy a fake camera to make people think twice.

The books were on top of a magazine box under Ted's table. They were not on a wall display. Somebody obviously was underneath the table, took them, got up and walked away.

 

There are dealers with camera's at the show and they have had books stolen.

 

It happens at shows across the country.
