The Shows #11: Resolution, sort of

Welcome to the new “normal.” At least you got paid and that’s a good thing but I do know what ya mean about a thief out there with your stuff!

-- Use it up, Wear it out --------------- Make it do, Or do without!

Thats the sad truth. Someone in the wrong will get away with it and the “easy button” is just to pay you. Its unfortunate. Thievery is one of the few things that really gets under my skin. Not only should they pay you but they should give you your next booth free, or a substantial discount.

I know what you mean. One of the times I had my car stolen, when they found it moderately trashed the next day, I asked “Did you take prints?”. The cops said no. So in essence, they will never look for or catch (even if the person is arrested for something else). Of course, my story ends with me paying the repair bill, liability only on that old car.

Well, hopefully they’re paying you your “regular” asking prices, and didnt ask “What would you settle for”

”they searched the facility, no furniture found.” Well, DUH, of COURSE they didnt FIND anything. Whoever stole it, took it HOME!

And the other side of me is wondering if by “paying you off” that the management is covering up for an employee theft problem they already KNOW they have.

At least that issue is settled. Lesson learned. Now you can concentrate on the next show.

-- Perform A Random Act Of Kindness Today ... Pay It Forward

At least they paid for your tables. That may make them think about security for the next show so I’d put this in the “win” column. I agree it would be better to catch the thieves and administer a little “frontier justice”.

Wow, that stinks but I’m glad you were paid for the items in the end.

-- No, I don't want to buy the pink hammer.

Most shows state in their application contract that they are not responsible for theft or damage. The fact that they are paying for your theft speaks highly of their character and ethics. I doubt that the show had security cameras and they might not have any method whatsoever to determine the theif.

It is very unfortunate for the the victims. The criminals always seem to win
