To the IM Thief

[studebaker-R2-4-me]

What ever happened to the 1930's something window wings that were stolen right off someone's car during a international meet. I believe they had someone on camera stealing them from a hotel parking lot.

At the '03 meet in Sacto, I was carrying in armloads of stuff to sell off Rebelstude's tables. My truck was just outside the building where we were vending. Last trip out to get stuff, the nice set of truck hubcaps I'd brought had disappeared from the bed. POOF! Whoever it was had to have been watching me make repeated trips and snatched them as I went in with a bunch of stuff. I hope they all popped off his wheels since then!

I remember stuff went missing from the first SASCO move, too............................

Yep. A lot of that theft was by my brother in laws brother who I unfortunately recruited to help. We got most of the stuff back to Dennis but certainly not everything. Dennis gave the guy a break by not prosecutiing, a break he did not deserve. (There were rumors that he was selling some stuff at a later swap meet). I gave up a week vacation to help Dennis and the guys but the memory will always have that cloud. He has since disappeared and nobody in the family cares.

Wow...the things you find out on the forum. This is the first I have heard of this. After seeing the condition of the building and how unorganized and shelf worn some of the parts were, I kind of felt that some of Dennis' troubles was of his own doings. However, talk about kicking a guy when he was down...I'm glad much of the stuff was recovered. Often you'll find that a thief like this has had enablers along the way. Not prosecuting them sometimes just makes them bolder.

Yep, just look at ALL of them in washington d.c.! Social Security is the BIGGEST Ponzi scheme going!

Jim- I guess I'd draw a distinction between the thugs and shysters in nice suits you guys "out there" send to DC, and those of us who live and work here as waiters, car mechanics, house painters, chefs, plumbers, and cops.

Not a coincidence that that was in that list . . . . .
