And what was the name of this person's grandmother? Why would William
not include this?
Seems very odd to leave that little bit of information out of the
story, as anyone could write such a claim, saying that his/her
unnamed, anonymous grandma or aunt was in GWTW.

Surely, if someone's sending family heirlooms off to auction, what
they can't describe them as is "totally priceless".

Heritage Auction Galleries / Mr. Doug Norwine / Heritage Galleries
And Auctioneers A Life Time of Memories are Gone With The Wind,
Treasured Inheritance vanishes from FedEx box Dallas Texas
Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me and now my inheritance worth $30k to
$40k is missing!
Heritage Auction Galleries, located in Dallas Texas is the subject
of this Rip-off report. The Director of Music and Entertainment
Memorabilia for Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers is Mr. Doug
Norwine. I will present the evidence that will prove, beyond the
shadow of a doubt that Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me. It also
appears that Mr. Norwine was responsible for misrepresentation as
it relates to my deceased grandmother being in the movie “Gone
With The Windâ€.
My grandmother was Miss. California in 1935 and then she became a
Hollywood movie actress. She had a fantastic collection of movie
star photographs. I had fantastic 11 x 16 and 8 x 11 inch
autographed photographs and snap shot pictures. I had snap shots
of my grandmother with the original Three Stooges, Betty Grable
and many others. I had a full two page newspaper article that was
all about my grandmother. This same two page newspaper article had
a picture of Bing Crosby with his arm around my grandmothers’
waist. How cool is that? I sent my only copy to Mr. Norwine, it
was totally priceless.
I had pictures of my grandmother in costume on the movie set for â
€œChina Seas†which stared Humphrey Bogart. I had snap shots of
Carol Lombard on the motion picture back lot. I had 11 x 16 inch
photographs signed of Jayne Wyman (President Ronald Regan’s
first wife), Ann Southern, Florence rice, and many many more!
I had original “Gone With The Wind†movie stills, my
grandmothers’ Motion Picture Employee identification card, and
many original photographs of movie stars from the 1930’s and
1940’s. The vast majority of these photographs had a
personalized note or wishes in addition to the signature of the
movie star.
Mr. Doug Norwine claims he personally signed for the FedEx box,
but that is not the truth. I have proof that Mr. Doug Norwine lied
to me.
I spoke to Mr. Doug Norwine late in the afternoon on 2\16\2006. He
said the deadline to have my parasol included in their upcoming
auction catalog was the very next day.
Mr. Doug Norwine asked me to send my photograph and newspaper
collection with my parasol. He said that these collections would
support the authenticity of my parasol being used in the movie â
€œGone With The Windâ€.
The box went FedEx overnight from California to Texas. Mr. Doug
Norwine said he signed for the box and opened it himself. He said
the photographs and newspaper articles were not in the box.
Photograph and newspaper collections do not just selectively
vanish from sealed FedEx boxes while in transit.
Thank God I took pictures of my photograph collection right before
I mailed them to Mr. Doug Norwine.
I put the photograph and newspaper article collections in the box.
They had to be there when the box was opened.
The FedEx “Track Shipments Detailed Results†printout that I
have shows a person with the name of “S.MCCLENNY†signed for
the box on Feb. 17, 2006 at 9:03 AM. The tracking number is
841186856634.
I called FedEx to inquire about the possibility of there being a
mistake about who signed for my box. FedEx said there was no
mistake. The FedEx customer service person that I spoke to said
that a person with the name “S.MCCLENNY†signed for the box,
not Mr. Doug Norwine.
Someone is lying. Either I lied about putting the photograph and
newspaper collections in the box with my parasol and continue to
do so by virtue off writing this rip off report or Mr. Doug
Norwine is lying.
I am telling the truth. I am not lying. I will go take a lie
detector test today and be happy to have anyone that is interested
witness it.
I personally put my parasol, the photograph and newspaper
collections into a plain brown box that I found around the duplex
my wife and I were renting. I taped the box closed and took the
box to the closest FedEx office. I personally witnessed the FedEx
employee weigh the box, fill out the FedEx USA Airbill, attach it
to the box, and then put my box with all the other boxes waiting
for the next and last pickup for that day.
Why did he lie to me? What did or does he have to hide from me?
Not only did he lie to me but, he adding insult to injury, told
me, half laughing as he spoke his words, to look around my house.
He said I might find my photograph and newspaper collection in a
drawer.
I could not believe the audacity, the cold hearted tone of voice,
and unprofessional behavior. I was being ripped off, lied to, and
insulted by a man who I had previously thought must be
trustworthy. How wrong I was. I should have listened to my wife!
She told me not to send my photographs and newspaper articles to
Mr. Doug Norwine.
Are all the essential elements of a Bad Faith law suit present?
Grand Theft?
I am 47 years old. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 7
years ago. I was an Immigration Information Officer for the
Federal Department of Justice for 4 ½ to 5 of the last 6 years.
My hands and head started to shake more and more. I had to take a
medical leave from I.N.S. I.N.S. is now called C.I.S.
There are some memory issues as Parkinson’s disease progresses.
I might go upstairs and then once there, forget why I went
upstairs or forget the name of a meal that my wife has cooked 100
times but I did not forget what I did with my treasured
inheritance. I know exactly what I did with it, when and where it
was the last time I saw it.
The last time I saw it was when it was in the box that had a FedEx
USA Airbill with Doug Norwine listed as the recipient, Heritage
Galleries & Auctioneers as the company, and 3500 Maple Avenue,
17th floor, Dallas Texas 75219. I am listed as the sender,
William ; I now live in Coalinga, California.
How can anyone trust anything Doug Norwine says anymore? Once it
is established that he lied to me, doesn’t he earn the loss of
any and all creditability?
If I was Mr. Steve Ivy, the CEO or Mr. Greg Rohan, the President
of Heritage Auction Galleries, I would ask or tell Doug Norwine to
go take a lie detector test TODAY. If he has not lied and if he
has no knowledge of my missing collections, he should have no
problem taking a lie detector test TODAY!
I can not prove that he took my collection, but I can prove that
he lied to me about who signed for the box. Why did Doug Norwine
lie to me about signing for my box? What was Doug Norwine trying
to hide from me, his customer; from me, Heritage Auction Galleriesâ
€™ customer?
How can anyone trust anything he says anymore?
One thing for sure is that Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me several
times. Another thing for sure is that my inheritance did not just
vanish from the FedEx box. Captain Kirk or Spock did not beam them
up out of the box and leave the parasol?
Now my inheritance, that I estimate the value to me to be over
$30,000 is missing.
Since things like that don’t just vanish, they have to be
physically in someone’s possession, and the question is in whose
possession. Perhaps they are in S.MCCLENNY’s possession.
I am ready to go take a lie detector test today
I believe that I would have gotten 10 to 100 times more than the
$650.00 that it finally sold for in their auction. Mr. Doug
Norwine cost me big time.
The auction catalog stated that the owner of the parasol was in
the movie “Gone With The Windâ€. I never told Doug Norwine that
my grandmother was in the movie, so who gave the advertising copy
to go with the picture in the catalog?
Where is my photograph collection and articles collection?
I want them returned, no questions asked
