Rhonda Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Lets see if we can help find this piece http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/1200x/94/2e/d8/942ed82f5351e99cf3cd7059550456b7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I HATE that! I hope the item is returned before the cops catch whoever did it, so it doesn't sustain any damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Maybe it fell on the floor or was accidentally knocked off the table. There can be a lot of people at mini shows jostling for space. Either way, pretty disappointing for the owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Oh my goodness. Its so sad to even think that someone would go to a miniature show and actually steal something. Really? Has everything deteriorated to this extent? Its just mind boggling to me for some reason that people could be this ridiculous. Anyways I'll keep my eye out for it. I think people should start displaying their items inside locked glass boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgansmith Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Regardless of the security involved or belief it is 'one of us', professional thieves go to these shows looking for some easy pickings. This is sad. Karma is real however and someone is in for a very big very nasty surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat57 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just so sad. But,then,we do live in a world where some morons would rather destroy church and school a/c units for the copper,rather than to be productive members of society! Like Morgan says,there are professionals out there and unfortunately they feed like jackals on events like this. I really hope they mess up and get caught trying to sell it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyG Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Unfortunately, it's very possible a small child pocketed this little item! Some parents do not supervise their children properly, but a small child can also be very quick and grab something that catches their eye without the parents realizing until much later. When my oldest was about 3 I was undressing him at bedtime and a Smurf figure fell out of his pocket. He had snagged it at the toy store earlier in the day. The next day we took it back to the store with an age appropriate lesson on not taking things without paying for them! THis little picture with elves would certainly attract a child...hopefully if that's the case the parent will find it and be able to return it. If someone just flat out stole it....SHAME ON THEM! I like to think that we miniaturists are a very honest lot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mininecessities Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sorry this happened, yes it is very sad. could have been a kleptomaniac and that disease knows no boundaries as far as class, wealth, age, personality. so yeah it could have been any one. Any time I set up a table any where I watch my stuff like a hawk LOL I am on ebay quite a bit and will keep an eye out for it! Hope it turns up.

moonberry Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've pinned this on Pinterest and have about 300 followers and I've also shared it on Facebook, so I'm hoping this will go viral quite quickly! Fingers crossed that the elves turn up safe and sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
