[IBC] Stolen suiseki
I'm sorry to hear that Art had a stone stolen. That's always a bummer when
you realize that someone has ripped you off at a convention. Over the last few years I find this a common thing ( at least at my tables). I think that a lot has to do with how "easily stealable" your items are, as many of mine are. I "lose" something more and more often at shows and it is USUALLY a carving bit/tool of some type. If it can be easily wiped off the table and into a bag it seems it's fair game. A stone however is a little different! But, I imagine at a stone show it wasn't rare to see someone walking around with a stone! I've had people say to me " I can't believe a bonsai person would steal", uh, well, believe it! The idea of losing $20-60 , OR MORE after all your costs is bad enough ( for years I told myself that THEY must have needed the money more than my family) but, it's a real pain when you can't leave your booth to go see demos or eat or anything because you know something will stroll away! One thing to look forward to.....someday you'll catch someone!!

I purchased it from Frank English, in California 20 years ago. I decided not to exhibit it in the Masterpiece Display, opting instead for a larger stone, and kept this one at one of my tables in the sales area. A week or two later at home I had a heart-stopping realization... the stone was missing ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Jerry Meislik++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
