But it seems the attitude is tough luck it ain't our fault. <br />If clubs were made to pay out then they might do something more about this rather than just introducing a we don't pay out for less than a £200 loss. This is not trying to stop the thefts by any stretch of the imagination. <br />In fact just a few basic precautions might help; Receipts; Restricting the number of people looking at any one time; putting some people on the other side of the B&B (the punters side); Put a camera or two up - even if it's a dummy one - they're not exactly expensive - and tell the punters they're being filmed.<br /><br />it won't stop it but it'll help and you might actually catch the bastards.....<br /><br />BTW sadly eBays not entirely safe safe either ;-( <br /><br />jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550061626443745990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-48573136381886841912013-02-26T12:30:06.116+00:002013-02-26T12:30:06.116+00:00Geez mate I am sorry to hear about the lost of you...Geez mate I am sorry to hear about the lost of your figures, little bastards indeed I think thieving little toerags is closerPanzerKaputhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068595006963872643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-90663737175819150612013-02-26T12:25:32.703+00:002013-02-26T12:25:32.703+00:00Despise is the word !Despise is the word !Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-81786393642005671972013-02-26T12:22:26.196+00:002013-02-26T12:22:26.196+00:00It is a shame, but in all walks of life theirs alw...It is a shame, but in all walks of life theirs always someone who spoils the fun for everyone else.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-80535386007334336482013-02-26T12:20:53.477+00:002013-02-26T12:20:53.477+00:00That would be nice, can't see it happening tho...That would be nice, can't see it happening though??Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-57693124172020282532013-02-26T12:19:50.051+00:002013-02-26T12:19:50.051+00:00Lets hope so!Lets hope so!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-3988112630676794052013-02-26T12:10:19.478+00:002013-02-26T12:10:19.478+00:00I am so sorry that happened to you, Ray and I trul...I am so sorry that happened to you, Ray and I truly hope whoever did it feels like total crap and decides to do the right thing and turn it back in.

I first encountered a theft when I was serving on a trade stand at Salute in 2003. When we were packing away the owner suddenly exclaimed 'Where are all the figures in that box from the table?' I couldn't answer as I had no idea - certainly I didn't sell them. In the back of my mind I HOPED he had sold them and that he just forgot about putting the takings away...I found the thought of people stealing from fellow gamers sickening. Today on reading of your experiences I find myself feeling quite sad about it again.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440418250366404723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-70636440929098720102013-02-25T21:30:19.714+00:002013-02-25T21:30:19.714+00:00So sorry to hear this.

Unfortunately the guys generally can't be everywhere, and in the press of people trying to get bargains, all it takes is one guy to quickly slip in.<br /><br />I must admit, I truly despise people who steal from other hobbyists. I hope one day you get to find the guy.
