[QUOTE="Samothdm, post: 1958250, member: 5473"] About maybe 9 years ago when Magic was reallly hot, the owner/manager of All Star Games in Diamond Bar told me that she came home from a Con here in Southern California. The back of her truck (a pick-up with a shell on it, I think) had a bunch of really rare Magic cards in a box in the back. She had been selling and trading them at the Con. So, she had Alphas, Betas, Arabian Nights, etc. Anyway, on the way home, she and (I think) her husband stopped for a bite to eat. They backed the truck into the space so that the back of the truck was up against a wall or bushes, knowing that it would be difficult to get into. While they were eating, somebody(ies) managed to get into the back of the truck, [b]reach past the money box with all the cash[/b] and take all of her Magic card collection. She was pretty devastated. She always figured that some people must have followed them all the way from the Con with the express purpose of stealing the cards. I don't think she ever found out who it was, but that just really sucks. She's a really nice lady and the guys who used to work at her shop (including AEG's own Jim Pinto) were always really cool.
