I once let a couple of collectors from Thousand Oaks CA come over and I showed them several records, including a pink Lambert that was in an edison box. They bought some records, and later I discovered they pulled a switch on me ad stole the Lambert. I later discovered they had a shady reputation. I have not heard of either one for a long time. Maybe they moved on to new territory where their reputation did not precede them..

So true. I once opened my home to an out of town collector for a weekend and let him run wild in my record "archive" trusting he would be careful and bring things upstairs to play (as he did). I noticed a couple of months later when looking on the shelves for a certain disc that it was gone, later, I discovered others were gone as well. One bad apple....
