So, now I am starting to prepare for Brickfest, and I am rereading some threads
(in case anyone wonders why I am posting this a month later).  So, I plan to
bring a set for this (gotta remember, gotta remember, or I can just buy one
while I am there), and I was wondering:

How do you keep track that something has been stolen 3 times?  If a lot of
people are involved, it could get quite confusing.  Of course, I presume you
have some experience in this, and I should just trust that you know what your
doing. :)  But.. just in case, I thought I would suggest stickers.  Each time
something is stolen, it gets a sticker.  Three stickers and its done.

Ok, back to planning.  I mean building.
