The Stolen items could end up on ebay or the net for sale. I know folk who have had theft and discovered the items there but there is a possibility they wont and wont be seen again.
Depends who broke in and stole the items. Could be someone who knew what they were looking for and make money selling them but it could also be someone who just did a smash and grab to get the items to keep or dispose of quickly for what ever amount. Maybe someone who has a addiction or in the need of money and will dispose of these for any amount they can get
I have only been in one place where a Break in took place. A market I used to do that was only open on Sundays. This place had a variety of items for sale by individual vendors. Ranged from Brand new items to collectibles to Antiques
What they stole was bizarre considering the wide range of items there
They stole Toilet Paper
A guy who had a booth there selling this and was wiped out (pardon the pun) Nothing else was taken
Have had theft in a store I had . Lost 5 items totaling about $1100.00. This occurred when it was open Fortunately I got them back.
I was in a place with a few other People. We had a A Frame that was used as a store and a 5000 square foot warehouse
I was away for a day and it was open and apparently busy. A friend sold Antique Furniture there. Had a Repeat customer in who purchased 7 or 8 pieces of furniture.
He phoned me that night and asked if I could help him with the delivery of them the next day to which I said I would. Went in the next morning and went straight to my area in The A Frame. Right of the bat noticed a few pieces missing. Searching around discovered 5 pieces gone.
Was not impressed but we had to do the delivery about an hour away so decided I would deal with it when I got back
This guy was a dealer and when I walked into his place there were items on a Table labelled with a sign "Just Picked". They were the ones I was missing. While not one of a kind hard to find and knew they were mne
Did not miss a beat I walked over to the table with the guy watching and said to my Friend " Look there are my missing pieces. They must have gone on a Tour". Picked them up and took them back to the Truck. Guy did not say a word then he knew he was caught. My friend recognized the pieces too, he knew my stock well
Told me after if the guy had not paid for them the day before he would have left without completing the deal but since he had we unloaded them in the driveway and left. While doing this the guy apologized to me for doing so
I did not say a word, knew better I was furious and did not trust myself with the response I would have given him. His explanation floored me. He said he figured since he had spent about $4000.00 on the furniture he figured he was due a few freebies.
If you counted the guys IQ you could have done it on one hand and not used your fingers. Silly enough to steal the items sillier still he had them on display when we arrived.
Left with little conversation. Decided not to pursue it further. Got the items back and really did not want the hassle of dealing with the Police. The guy never showed up again. Like we would have Welcomed him back
