MyD Pins Stolen Pins
I have the same question... how did this person get close enough to so many pins to steal them?Such craziness. I wonder how the thief got the pins, isn't everything locked up there?
Many of the less expensive pins are on boards that you just pick off of and take them to the counter and they ring you up. They can see the open boards from The counter but if an employee has their head down or is ringing someone up, it would be harder to see what's going on with the open boards. The more expensive pins and collectable they have in big glass cases. I was over there last week because I was in the area, but the big glass cases look like they may have locks but many of them don't, so in theory it wouldn't be too hard for someone who normally shop lifts to just open one of the ones the employees aren't able to see from their counter and take the pins. Its really messed up of that person to do what they did. It's a small store with a few really nice employees and they are amazing with their prices and selection, it's just too bad there are PoopyPeople out there scamming and conning to make a quick buck.I have the same question... how did this person get close enough to so many pins to steal them?
The other question is how will MDP prove what this trader has is their stolen merchandise? I hope they have some way to prove it. A friend had something stolen (3 $10,000 mountain bikes) and found one of them on ebay. The police would do nothing to help reclaim it or arrest the ebay seller, because there was no proof of original ownership which would hold up with the police/in a court of law. In the end the person was caught, but unfortunately my friend never saw their bikes again.
Keep an eye on your pins.
It's also important to note that it seems like this person had been stealing from them over multiple months, and people may have bought or traded for them from the thief over that whole time. So even if you did not get a pin directly from that person, you may have gotten it from someone else who did.
I looked over the photos and the only pin I saw that I have is the NBC marquee with Zero, which I got directly from DSF.
There is probably going to be extra scrutiny at the trade event this weekend.
How do you think impossibly cheap pins still in original package show up for sale on the secondary market?I imagine the Disney Parks have regular problems with shop lifters for all kinds of merch.
