theives should have hands cut off

[El Negro Magnifico!]

Fuckin' ridiculous. Sorry that happened, man.

[Ripley]

Grrr. WTF? Sorry to hear about the theft Andy.

A recent rash of laptop thefts at Chicago galleries in West Loop Gate area means my upcoming show will be "by appt. only" after opening.

Theres no shortage of desperate and scandalous mother fuckers out there.

[Steph Nitro]

that sucks majorly! best wishes for gettin the stuff sorted out. Had that happen to me once.... ...not cool at ALL.

[squeegeethree]

Sounds like an inside job. Either that butler you just hired or possibly that squeegee monkey you've been training so hard. Sorry to hear about this.

[George W Bush]

what's a clan claw?

They used to cut off thieves hands. and brand their faces. for a while, they used to hang them.

the good old days.

but, liberal times ya know. see...it's actually YOUR fault..societies fault...that they where forced FORCED to rip you off...dont ya know?

I hope they get caught, and after they judge wags a finger at them and lets them go I hope you and your buddies track them down and slowly apply crowbars and baseball bats to them.

that sucks andy. it sounds super fishy-inside-work and that sucks more.

how can the cops say that having a stolen card of yours is NOT enough grounds for a search warrant? that makes no sense, and sucks for a rad trio.

sorry holmes. hopefully some progress gets made on this. time for an alarm system too.

dang.

It kind of does sound like a bit of an inside job. The hidden book box isn't that common, unless you're stealing weed from high school kids in the 70's. Their selection of prints was interesting too... Hell, the fact that they even took prints at all is interesting. If they walked right by electronics equipment and cds/dvds (easily fenced items) and took something that most people wouldn't assume had any value... Hey, wait a minute... Check the classifieds on EBeans. They weren't Emeks were they?

And what's up with the cops? Possessing one of the items stolen from your house should be plenty probable cause for a search warrant. Maybe it's different in Canuckistan, but that doesn't sound right to me.

that's for shit man.

very sorry to hear, andy.
same thing happened to me about 12 years ago.
all the books had been flipped through, they changed their clothes (and
left the old ones), and sat down and rolled joints.
you're right, the worst part is just knowing some asswipe was hanging out in your house

[steve w]

they stole my Flaming Carrot trading cards and our wedding rings
