Well...I have an update. Â I went to go to work this evening (my real job, Â not the store) and found that another binder full of Magic cards and my LAPTOP were missing from my truck! Â Now granted, I did have the doors unlucked, but this is New Hampshire and nearly everyone leaves their vehicles unlocked in their own driveway.
The local police dept. is opening a file and will be having a detective contact me either Friday or Monday. Â The officer I spoke with thought it was a very likely situation that a certain teenage former employee was responsible for the thefts and told me I should make sure the detective has this kid's name and address.
Here is what I think has happened...at one point my wife asked me while at the store "Where is that binder of rares we purchased from so-and-so?" and I responded "Oh, its in the front seat of the truck". Â I'm pretty certain the person was going for the cards and happened to find my laptop bag sitting there as well and took it too.
Minor or not, if it turns out to be him, I will certainly insist on pressing charges. Â I wonder what happens to a teenager who is caught stealing 5-6 grand worth of items?
As for the guns, while I do feel strongly about our rights to bear arms as Americans, I don't personally own any guns, so I wouldn't be able to shoot the person if I caught them in the act ;)

Well, I know my thief. Â I hope you find yours.
Oh look, here is my old buddy now.
