That is terrible.
|
I have opened the door and asked a delivery man to please put a really heavy box inside the front door. I also have two huge dogs that are in stand-by mode ......
Stolen quilts should be posted on the stolen quilts site. I hope she has photos of the quilts. If I were going to sell quilts (which I'm not) I'd sell at upscale Christmas Craft Fairs. |
I have sold several quilts from my home but DH was always there (Big, but a pussycat!). The buyers always came recommended by someone else, never had a problem. On one occasion they were from France and discussed in French how much they should offer for the quilt. They didn't know I understood everything they were saying!
|
That just awful on so many levels. I hope maybe a neighbor might have seen something had help to bring these awful people to justice.
|
That's horrible, not surprising in this day and age unfortunately.
I have had people pick up some of the quilts that I donate, but I always my have German Shepherd at the door LOL ... not too many people willing to challenge one of those dogs! |
Totally agree with ckcowl. Have a couple friends with you and if you can't bring them all out, that is all the inventory you have. I hope you find the culprits.

More words of caution... Never, Ever allow strangers in your home if you are alone!!! If you want to sell from your home you should Always make sure you have another person in the house with you when people are coming to see your items. A friend, a relative, someone.
Never, Ever let strangers in when alone!!!! This could have been a lot worse than losing some quilts. I hope she called the police right away. If not she needs to. And, make sure you always have pictures and documentation for each item so they can be identified if found. |
That must be sickening for her. But since they were thieves, it's like CkCowl said, it could have been very bad.
|
It might cause more work but I would take the quilts to a library or some public place before time for the meeting and stay with them until the buyer left. Then they aren't casing your house for valuables while they are there and they don't know where you live and quilts are guarded at all times.
