Re: Have you ever had a pinball stolen ??

Rob,
Neither of those 2 games were for sale ( MM & CV ) , They came to look
at 2 Data East games I had listed in the Local Newspaper, That was on
Thursday & they were driving a Car, Wanted to come back on Friday &
pick them up & I let them know I wouldnt be home ( HUGE MISTAKE ) ,
They came in through a Window & opened the walk in door
The big door was locked,, Dont know how they loaded them unless they
had a tommy-lift
But where these games were sitting they didnt have to carry them far.
Lesson lerned the hard way,, I still will list games in the local
paper, But now I put the game(s) in my old building so strangers caint
see my 20 plus pin collection,
I now have a Alarm System, Steal bars on ALL windows & doors & A
Rottweiller that loves to be Rough,,, These guys also knew what they
were doing,, I HATE a Theif !!

Pin-Del,

Del had a sweet MM stolen along with another pin he was trying to sell.
I think he told the prospective buyers/theives that he would not be
around at a certain time or day for it to be picked up or something.
It is risky selling games and having strangers in your house to look at
your games and see what you have.

There was a guy who posted here about a year ago that had 25 or 30 stolen
from his storage space. I think he was from the west coast (maybe
California?). Thieves knew what they were doing too. They took the good
stuff and left the junk. I wonder what happened with that one....
