Record Thieves

[Hipcity Hipster]

Hi all

I went to Crossfire yesterday and put my records out for sale.

It was too dark though really.

I did not see anybody look at the records all night except one guy I know who looked at my rare northern section. The rest of the sections remained un-looked at.

So it came as a total surprise when I noticed a handful of records missing from the front of my 70's/80's box.

Someone must have just lifted the 1st 20 or so records + a couple from the front of the Motown box.

So a bit of a shit evening out for me.

Below is a list of what was taken as far as I can ascertain. Although I doubt they'll show up through the usual channels if anyoneis offered them or sees them on ebay let me know.

I'm sure there'll be those out there who have a grudge against me who'll silently chuckle but it does piss me off. I 'm not like a high street store who can take the odd theft and probably expect / accept it. I'm a one man band often struggling to pay the bills so it really pisses me off to lose a stack like this.

Record thieves are scum bags. regardless of who you've pissed off, this week, or last.

I'd like t think any decent human being, who collects or sells vinyl would not find record theft acceptable or something to laugh at, no matter who the victim is.

I HOPE WHOEVER NICKED YOUR RECORDS POO'S HEDGEHOGS FOR A MONTH
