For those of you who heard about the incidents in the castle room where items on
the displays were stolen, I thought I would update on a related incident.

Someone took one of my farm chickens, also - I was unpacking today and noticed
one missing - then reviewed my pictures and found before and after pictures on
Saturday and Sunday. :(

So far, that means someone took 3 chrome swords (large castle in back corner), 1
chrome helmet (Greek temple), and a small white chicken MOC (farm).

Obviously, it would be great if anyone had any more information on what
happened. But I would also suggest everyone who was in the castle room (or any
other) closely review their MOCs to determine if anything else was stolen.

I would also suggest we get barricades next year.

Due to the inaccessibility of the chrome pieces, I don't believe the pilfering
occurred at the hands of a small child.
Therefore, I would also suggest we consider setting up some kind of webcams -
nothing too extravagant, but a deterrent to future pilfering.

Overall, I really enjoyed the convention, but it's disheartening to see so much
display pilfering in at least one room. :(

(...) This is so pathetic. Grown people stealing toys... I kept a very lose eye on my MOCs, and my soldier figs. Perhaps the fact that they were terrorists fighting Chinese soldiers was a deterrent in and of itself. During Sunday I guarded my MOCs (...) (20 years ago, 21-Aug-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
