I'm not familiar with any "missing" finished/trained , expensive bonsai
from conventions.

I'm pretty sure Chase has had at least one, and possibly several, really
nice trees (azalea as I recall) walk away from the Philly Flower Show.

David J. Bockman,

Yep, you're right Dave. I remember hearing that now. I think that was 5-7ish
years ago?
Of course I've heard of small and large thefts of trees from home/business
sites. I remember Brussels' large loss about 10 years ago.
But, small "five-finger-discounts" are common at conventions/symposiums.
Plus, I wonder how often vendors have stuff stolen and never notice if they
have lots of smaller items ( like me). regarding Art's loss..it was a few
days before he noticed! And, that item wasn't small!
Dale
