Quoted from Xerico:

If the pinball community is able to help out with this it could lead to United opening up and freeing some of the 100's of pins they've had locked away for the last 20 yrs. in many storage properties in and around Wichita.

Why would this make any difference at all? *scratch head*

Sucks that games got stolen, but if they've been sitting on games for 20 years, they obviously weren't motivated to sell them out before? If anything maybe the fact that they lost inventory they haven't been selling should be a motivator to reduce down, consolidate locations, and make the ones they do have more secure, I'd think...

I patrol CL for KS/OK/TX/MO/AR/LA, I'll keep an eye out but man...bleh.

*edit* I am not in any way condoning or supporting what happened to them.

Quoted from stpcore:

What happens if you buy a pin that is later found to be stolen? Do you just lose your money and the pin at that point? Makes me want to be more alert on "to good to be true" deals.

That's a possibility, yes.

Man, you guys are some greedy bastages. SMH... I know we all pretty much don't like retailers because their business is to extract as much money as possible from our wallets, but can we stop pretending this was just someone playing a prank or something? This is grand theft. It's a felony. /boggle You're not entitled to be paid to just be a decent person and report something suspicious if you see it.

Quoted from Neuromancer87:

Are there a lot of tweakers that like to casually browse internet pinball forums?

If you haven't seen the story about the STTNG that was picked up in Louisiana backwoods....you really need to find it on here and read it.

Yes, there are some real, legitimate, scary crackheads in pinball.

Quoted from vdojaq:

Grab a stiff drink for this, you will want it.

TRUTH!

And the creepy part is that I talked to this guy BEFORE these events happened. I was literally heading back from vacation in New Orleans, wife and I were going to stop and get this, but the guy didn't reply to me until after we were passed, wanted me to come back the following week...we declined!
