jerseydave77 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Nice work. While in College kids my little bro knew stole my baseball card collection. My pop took me all over to collect in particular Mantle autographs when I was a o kid. The Nostalgia was overwhelming and the driver on the heist was a former friend. One of the kids wore my brothers stolen watch to school three days later and it all unraveled. The cops recovered about 20% of what was taken. I got 5k restitution so it paid a semester of college. The box the recovered cards were returned in still sits unopened in a drawer at my parents house 17 years later. They tainted a bunch of memories but I got to peace and preferred not to sweat was missing but preserve the Happy time spent with my Dad and brothers. the shit part was the kids started messing with my brother at school and he wound up in a bunch of fights. I ran into the driver on break the next year and the loser ran when confronted not about the cards but my interest in fucking him up for what he continued to do to my brother. Im really glad for you man. Hope the rest comes to you soon. niblips and aflycon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabpower Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It's awesome that you got some back (at least you will). Do you guys know you can get insurance on your record collection? I insured mine for $20,000 and it costs me like $30 per year. I'd be a fool not to take that opportunity when it's worth so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Bon Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 UPDATE!!!!

That kid won't be getting anything anytime soon. Cool beans that you got your stuff back! Are you going to press charges? Or are you just happy youre getting them back with free labor?

A-Bon Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 On a down side! my insurance company wants to increase my premiums by $10 per month as they now see my record collection as "high risk" !!! even though i didnt make a claim!! damn them!

mr. sincere Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 This is really excellent. Nice job not giving up, and I hope that kid gets what he deserves even if you don't press charges. Makes sense that it was a kid, too. I doubt some grown man working in a home would decide to risk stealing records from bands he knows nothing about, on the off chance that he figures he could make 100 bucks at a pawn shop. Also, that extra $10 a month on your insurance, though shitty, might be worth the peace of mind in the future. A-Bon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrowsmith89 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm Happy for you man! So the mother doesn't wonder where all these records came from all of a sudden when he asks to take him to the shop to sell? If this kid is really around that age, and you do get every single record back, I wouldn't do much more. You could ask the parents to pay you $120, which covers the increase in insurance for a year, which was caused by their son. A-Bon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
