Chanced upon one of the vendors here in NB at dinner last night.....this theft was being discussed - turns out it's been happening a LOT more frequently recently, and some of 'em are pulling out because of it.

George, Thanks for the update. Yes, the perp who nailed us was not an armature. They prey on people full time, watching for any weakness and taking/robbing/or worse. We're just grateful we seem to be recovering - changing bank accounts, etc all day Saturday.
The financial hit from missing the show was greater than the financial hit from the theft - but we did need to take care of buisness, and we were a little rattled and really could not have worked the show. I also know there were probably a lot of disappointed customers who look for us regularly (and shop regularly) for supplies. I got a few phone calls Saturday from people looking for us. I had to explain the whole situation. It's a shame really, because Saxet has a dedicated set of regulars, just like the other venue in the area does (with some cross-over, obviously).
We were also disgusted at the ease and openness of the theft, even though it was my fault completely for letting my guard down. No police or guard presence, no secured (guarded) gates, etc. I'm going to be sure to thank the off duty cops I see at the next SA show *you know the one* for keeping an eye on suspicious activity, and I'm sure as heck going to change the way I mobilize and demobilize from the shows.
I've updated the first thread with my wife's stolen laptop make/model/serial number.

Nope, unfortunately. The replacements will be enabled this way, along with the ability to brick the phone data (contacts, etc) remotely before having the provider mark the phone as stolen, in the event this ever happens again.
Normally i load in the gated area (open, unguarded gate mind you) but we got there late Friday, and didn't know where our setup was going to be as we've been working that show irregularly due to my wife's day job. This time, we prepped to load just to the left of the main door, at one of the two smaller double doors. Come to find out, our table was closer to the inside gated area, so as I prepped to move my truck to that new location. BAM. Banditos. The other guy who had his truck broken with an ipad stolen into was parked out in the open, closer to Appetitos but in the main area, not on the side of the building. He was pulling a fairly big trailer so he seemed to be parked where he could get in/out easier without backing in, or he was done loading.
Thanks anywho. My guess is SAPD's best has not yet even entered the S/N's into the database. Sad, ain't it? Officer didn't even have any buisness cards left, had to write me a hand written note on paper. Lady I talked to at ph number left on piece of paper could only enter info for the officer to then enter himself into the case number. Seems like a lot of BS paperwork and hand written notes to me.
TheDan, I like the way you think my man. buahaaaaa. I'd be happy with dye packs and broken, useless merchandise as bait just to paint the pucks with die all over their bodies a
Well, the dye packs are only useful if your coordinating with law enforcement. If you just want to mess with the thieves, get a cheap hard sided gun case and rig one of these to go off when opened: OC Expulsion Grenade

Anger, what is the name of your company? I'm going to try to send some business your way to make up for the loss.
