[Accrs-ho] Fwd: THEFT ALERT : Train Station Hobbies Stolen Merchandise

[ACCRS HO Scale]

Sucks to hear this.
It would not surprise me that they and others were probably stalked at the train show to see which vendors came with product they wanted or valued and then followed them from show closing to where they parked the trucks.   Maybe they have video coverage inside and outside the buildings.  Look for the people that appear to be hanging still after close time with no bags in their hands and watching vendors load their boxes.
Bowser Trains retail store had someone(s) break in through a side wall and stole product earlier this year.

  PCR Members and Fellow Modelers:

  


  It's with disbelief and great frustration that I notify you of a 
  significant theft of model trains from a respected dealer in Sacramento.

  


  Train Station Hobbies had five vendor tables at International Railfair in 
  Roseville this past weekend.  They stock new inventory from major 
  manufacturers and primarily service train shows and swap meets.  After 
  the show was over Sunday, they packed their truck full of boxes and drove home 
  to Sacramento.  During the night either late Sunday or early Monday 
  morning thieves stole approximately $30,000 of new inventory from 
  the back of their truck.

  


  The police and investigators have told the proprietor he 
  was likely targeted after the show by someone with a knowledge of 
  their home address.  No other crimes in the neighborhood were committed 
  and the thieves only broke open the cover over the bed of the truck, never 
  dropping the tail gate.

  


  Items stolen include 12 cases of newly-released Intermountain, Red 
  Caboose, and Atlas freight cars.  Several boxes of Fox Valley GP60s, new 
  Hornby Heislers, and BLI steam locomotives were stolen.  Dozens of TCS 
  decoders and Digitrax hardware including command stations and 
  throttles also stolen.

  


  The owner is compiling a full inventory of stolen merchandise, but asked me 
  to spread the news so other modelers are aware there are hundreds of hot 
  models in someone's possession and to look out for any suspicious 
  merchandise.

  


  Please pass this news on to friends, hobby shops, and fellow club 
  members.  If anyone should suspect stolen merchandise or has any clues, 
  please contact Don Thamer at trainstationhobz at aol.com.

  


  For those of you who are also dealers or vendors, this is a terrible 
  reminder we must all take extra precautions to protect inventory assets.  
  Don't be complacent in a safe neighborhood or with merchandise 
  in a locked vehicle.
