Watch your goods at the Markets !!
Permalink  

Last Sunday we decided to get some Petrol Money by taking a trailer load of goods to the Local Flee markets,

We, ( The Daughter & I )  did alright and were home again in a few hours with enough to fill our tanks with fuel.

It wasn't until we started to reload the trailer that we realised, we had boxes with nothing to put in them,

Yep" the "thieving light fingers" had struck again, The Daughter had some beautiful Crystal figurines which she knew, she had NOT SOLD 

but Now vanished. I also lost some D.V.Ds out of their cases,

Damned annoying when you sell a D.V.D. and the person opens the case and shows you....." nothing inside." furiousfuriousfuriousfuriousfurious

It's getting that way, that you have to take an extra person with you, just to keep an eye on things. evileyeevileyeevileye

Did markets for years, long time ago now, but never had anything stolen - though we made glass top tables with art metal legs, and planter stands, mandalas, little bit hard to walk away with them I suppose.

What is the world coming to when you can't trust.

I had a whole crate of goods taken from under the table.

Same thing goes for garage sales.  You need one person to wander around, a couple to spot and one (and only one) taking cash.  especially if you have arrange a really big one out of a bit shed
