    Angry Thieving buggers

    To the thieves who stole 4 books and other stuff from our stand and I'll bet from many of the other stands at the at the Sydney WWW Show.

    May you be wracked with guilt and remorse for the rest of your days. Get some help for your problem or get caught. One of the two might help cure you of your habbit.

    As a matter of interest Neil, do you know which day they went missing?

    I'm not casting aspersions, but there were a lot of schoolkids there on the Friday and none of them seemed to be supervised.

    Thumbs down

    Cheeky buggers!

    BUT,.I bet there were a lot of unsupervised adults around that same day too

    I would be leaning more that way if it came down to kids vs adults.

    Not to make light of the situation but I am sure that they will have the best finished stolen furniture at the Sunday markets with the rest of their stolen goods.

    All thefts (that I know of) were on Sat & Sun and it's the oldies that are the biggest bunch of thieves not the youngsters.

    I deleted the rest of this post so as not to offend. However some of the words I didn't delete were. Old, bloody, tight, , mongrel, bastards, etc. And they're not the offensive ones.

    'Sokay. I've got it out of my system now.............

    NOT!

    It's even more petty when they steal an item that doesn't have a high price tag.

    I bet these thieves did the rounds at a few other stands as well most likely.

    Yes they are good, I've had the same problem at flea markets but found the culprits are easily embarrassed with the attachment of some 3lb fishing line attached to a bell.
    Worked for me.
    Having said that, I was at the Mornington Peninsula Swill (read winery open day) and after paying $24 to get in I was given my own little etched wine glass, put it on a stand to take my wallet out of my pocket to pay for a few bottles and some bastard pinched it, must have been down all of ten seconds.
    Found out later a lot of people had the same problem, somebody collecting a set.
    Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
