Wow, I am so sorry to hear about that! This was my first MOTD and I was really glad to see all the stuff in person because I don;t like shopping online nearly as well- I like to actually see things.

I just HAD to comment about the kid thing... I am a Mom and nobody seemed to mention that when you have kids, you have to watch them. You also have to teach them that stealing is wrong and that bad people are all over the place. I would like to think that all MINI owners are great people and most of them are... but I would not trust someone to watch my kid or hold my wallet just because they own a MINI. We should get MINI USA to revoke all MINIs from the jerk owners who like to tailgate people, steal, and just be bad people... can we get them to envoke some background check laws like before you buy a gun... you shouldn't be allowed to own a MINI if you're a jerk.

Anyway sorry to hear for the loss and I hope that this thread generates more knowledge about products that you offer so that more people can buy things to make up for it. I was super glad to get my grill badges and I plan on buying an Auto-Up switch from you Online--- these seem to be all the rave among my friends- they love the auto-up switches

 

Hey, can you set up a nanny-cam type deal for the next time? Do you have to have a generator for that type of set-up? I was looking at those watches because I had mis-placed my black leather band MINI watch and was sick about it. Then I found my watch in my luggage. I noticed the next time I visited that booth all the watches were gone. I thought to myself, "Man! they've sold them all over night!" I was sure glad mine turned up. Hope you find yours, even if it's attached to a little kid!!!!

 

hmm, nanny cam....how about a bouncer?

 

Unless it shows up on eBay...

There is always a bad apple in the bunch, though. When I was young and Hurricane Hugo hit SC, we went up (from Jax) with loads of food and supplies in several RVs. We were GIVING AWAY free food, hotdogs, tea, and supplies. We had a video camera set up just to record what was going on to remember it all in the future, and this guy sneaks up to the table with the FREE food on it, and steals a single banana off the table. He did it so sneaky and sly, looking around to see if we were watching him and obvioulsy didn't see the camera. It was just so crazy because he could have taken as much of anything as he wanted or needed. For some people I think it is just the thrill of getting away with it.
Stupid....
I'm really sorry to hear about this happening. Yes, Karma will take care of it eventually. I just like to be there when it does!

 

re: Nanny Cam
I can probably help out with that.....or the very least point you in the right direction

re: Speaking of things walking off
Anyone here take an Absorber towel still in the tube from my tent over at the Washing area on Saturday night??? One of my customers and NAM member accidentally left it behind, so I left it out for her to retrieve it, and someone walked off with it instead by the time she came back for it.

So I know it's a small cost compared to a watch, but still--did you think it was a gift that you deserved to walk off with something that didn't belong to you???

 

I am going to keep an eye on ebay!I wonder if they have a policy for selling stolen goods?

 

Aaron, I was very sorry to hear about this, I don't suppose if I sent my name and address that you'd send the packaging, display case, instructions, and a watch would ya?

 

....You're too much. I'm sure we will have some more laughs next year. Good to see ya as always.

BTW Love the horns!!!!

love cows too....I have a cow skin rug in my office with a Eames lounge chilling... I'm thinking of having some antlers cast in a translucent plastic to display my watch collection...
