Maybe he just walked away to join the PCC ;D
Poor shop-owner though, she looks really upset...
-
who's closer to Beaver County??
That's your thief! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks like a great store, just might have to move to Beaver County. :lol:

Before I started collection one of these walked away from our local mom and pop shop. It did not make it to prime time TV news though. Is there really nothing going on in this town that this makes the news?
She really does look distraught about it. It is replaceable and here insurance should cover the theft but I think they are not really that expensive. The deductible is probably more. I think they used to be around $300 but that was a while ago. I think they are exagerating the $1000 price. Our store would never put a $1000 clown and knight out front of their store to be broken up every year.
Great advertising, seeing as any advertising is good advertising but when they said "dreams" and the camera focused on the full sized pirate @ 0:35 was priceless . Then when the narrator said "a grown womans dreams were dashed" and the camera panned on the Victorian modern house and the wedding :lol: "were dashed by a selfish claud" and the camera panned on the future planet klicky :lol: :lol: :lol: great editing :lol:

My shop told me that they are actually Free but that it costs $600 to ship them from Germany... so they cost $600 as of a year ago when they ordered their last one... terrible business though, someone stealing one.
-
Aw, that's sad, I really feel bad for her! :( The big issue they said was they could only order them once a year, so they can't order until next August. I think geobra should make an exception, surely insurance would cover the cost as Ras said.
And where is Beaver County? I want to go! ;D

For I could find it is in Alberta, Canada.
OK... All Canadian members are on probation from this minute!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is terrible. I've heard of this shop, though I've never been there. :o
-
And where is it, Pynedor?
-
And where is it, Pynedor?
The shop? It's in Pennsylvania.
-
Ah, ok thanks. Hey aren't you in Pennsylvania, Joe? :hmm: :P

Tragedy reversed! I just saw this! :)
Knight Found (http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2012/10/16/toy-knight-found-after-being-stolen-from-beaver-co-shop/)

:lol: That article struck me as very funny! But yay, I'm so glad they found the klicky. :)
-
It seemed a bit funny to me too, but I do feel bad for the owner. The article tells that the knight was cracked during the robbery. :(
-
its amazing only the leg cracked, those things are so flimsy. Great news that it was found and the shop owner can have her peace back. From the first news story it looked like she had lost a child it was affecting her so badly. Its just a toy you nut. :P
-
Is it just me or does the reporter in the video sound kind of cynical?
I would cry if I lost a thousand dollar toy, too.
-
This thread reminds me one of these days i have to put my lit crew together in order to rob some of them big life size klickies >:D >:D >:D >:D
-
It is terrible for that woman... but i find it a very good idea !!
Pensylvania is too far away!
Also that figure was so beautiful..
ATTENTION!!!
I'M ASKING FROM THE THIEF TO RETURN THE FIGURE TO MY ADDRESS AND I WILL PERSONALLY RETURN THE ITEM TO THAT POOR WOMAN!!
-
Aww a happy ending. Have to admit though, I want to go to that toy shop!

I thought both reports were a little patronising - think it's because they're going for the 'and now for a lighter story' effect, but I'm not quite sure they pulled it off!

Yay! That's very good news. The shopkeeper did look quite sad during the video. :(
-
Maybe it wasn't easily replaced for her.. My old guys, the named ones, are NOT replaceable. Just aren't.
And I can't help but agree with the comments: "alleged rascals"!? MAY face charges? "do something back for the community"? Gimme a break. Flog the thieves! At least.
Glad (almost) all ended well.
-
Seems like the reports had it all wrong.
He wasnt stolen, he was simply invited to a party. I gues he earned that after guarding that shop all those days. He might have strained his leg when dancing from exitement. ;)
-
He should've left a note, then he wouldn't have worried Mommy quite so much.
-
True, I gues he forgot about it in all the exitement. :)
-
Bill bring it back! :)
-
Bill bring it back! :)
nice Mc D's guys you made mike :lol: to me they look like ronald and the burglar
-

Yes, why does she make it such a big deal? ??? ??? After all she has other two large Knights in her store she could use them, right?
-
A missing friend is a missing friend though, I'd be upset too about missing clickies, especially if it where one of my favorites.
