Would be great if this stone would be recovered. It's kind of a statement like: "You just don't steal from the prop community, since you will never be able to get rid of what you stole, without being traced down!"
I actually knew of a couple of items stolen from the set of a TV series, in the 'collection' of someone I lived close to years ago. It was a friend of a friend and I won't go into what it was (it was from a 1970s show) but the guy was just fine with never getting to display it in the open.
Anyone remember the Dr Who episode, "City of Death"? The alien got da Vinci to paint several copies of the Mona Lisa, had them crated away for centuries then stole the one from the Louvre. that way, the world knew the 'real' one was stolen and he could sell the multiple copies to collectors because they could never tell anyone.
that's fiction but I suspect several pieces of art stolen by the Germans in WW2 are likely in places just like that, with owners who are fine with never being able to tell anyone.
I can just see the cops trying to digest everything that's being said to them, and when they try to identify the missing item in their written report, the best they can come up with is "fake rock".
Yeah, exactly. I mean, how serious would (or could) a cop take this?
Someone I served with who's now with the FBI once told me, "If it takes half an hour to explain
why something is important, I doubt I'll think it is when you're done..."
Again, I'm not diminishing how much this stinks for Adam, just wondering how any of us could get a cop to realize the importance of something like this.
Think of that BBT episode where the guys get robbed and Sheldon goes bonkers when the cops don't see the loss as a big a thing as
he does.
