News from the Cookie's jar
On the Friday evening, PonyHeart and me decided to have dinner at the bar in the lobby.
We took along our sketchbooks "in case we meet someone who might want to draw in it".
Quickly, people joined us at the table and we were chatting happily.
We decided to go suit for the Fursuit friendly dance.
We were so busy chatting that we were quite distracted.
Once upstairs, we suddently realized that none of us picked up the sketchbooks, that have been left lying on the table.
We went back downstairs immediately and.....
They were gone. In less than 15 minutes.
Bar staff didn't see them, Con Ops never got them back, nor did the Reception of the hotel.
They simply got stolen (yes, if someone didn't turn them in, i call that person a friggin THIEF).
It infuriates me to no end.
WHY would someone steal art featuring another's person's character???
I had memories in that book dating back to EF 11.
11 !
9 years ago!
And PonyHeart is livid as well (well he at least has scans of his drawings, i don't...)
It goes without saying that it put a a damper on our convention enjoyment, afterwards.
Please circulate the news..
The Furry fandom is NOT anymore the safe place it used to be..
I remember hearing stories of people leacving wallets bursting with cash lying around and finding them intact, or laptops being found at Con Ops DAYS after being forgotten..
WHY friggin SKETCHBOOKS???????
*angry*

The thing is, with something as personalised as a sketchbook, whoever took it is going to have to keep it securely hidden for the rest of their life. It's not like they can do anything with it, or they'll immediately be found out. So the possession of the book is going to cause them nothing but stress and guilt.
That person will probably just rip off the pages with my stuff on it, and use the book for (him/her)self.
*sigh*
Then just gimme back the art, eh.. keep the book!
(And even if the theme if the con was CSI, it's not possible to use tge refkections in the glasses of the waiter to see our table ;) )
