Message:: [QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1546864, member: 16948"]Apparently, the thief from the Buena Park show today was suspected of stealing from the same dealer in Long Beach and another dealer at the monthly Anaheim show, so Jerry (who is a retired Long Beach cop and also owns and runs the Anaheim show) was advised about the "possible" thief (the dealer couldn't prove it at that time) and pointed out the guy to Jerry at the Anaheim show.  So Jerry who is also in charge of security at the Buena Park show saw the same guy (he is very big, lots of arm tats, and a ZZ Top style beard) enter the show and had two other security guards watch him.  Sure enough, the guards witnessed him steal from the same dealer as the Long Beach show.  The had their cell phone cameras ready and actually videotaped him stealing.  They called the cops, the dealer signed the complaint, the thief was walked through the show in handcuffs while all the dealers cheered, put in a police car, taken to the police station, processed and released.  I understand he had pocketed over $600 worth of coins from the dealer's notebooks that were sitting on the table. We were all very pleased that (1) they caught the thief and (2) that the dealer is actually prosecuting him!  Kudos to Jerry and his staff, and the dealer![/QUOTE]
