Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Stolen Puppets


Chas Taylor >>> I am so sorry to hear of you loss of puppets.  Many  
puppeteers I have known have had similar problems with puppets being  
stolen out of vans.

Everyone should keep their eyes open in antique stores, boutiques,  
swap meets and other places that sale unusual items.  I have seen  
puppets I know to have been stolen for sale.  That is usually what  
happens to turn stolen items into quick cash.   They can turn up  
anywhere in any surrounding state.
----------------------------------

I'm thinking that something can be done about this now that we have  
the Web, etc.

Post pix of stolen puppets somewhere. Make "kidnapped puppets" a page  
on the P of A site and let everyone know. That way if I see a puppet  
for sale I can check the stolen puppet page.

might help.
best,
Ed
