Subject: Missing Items from Greenwich Show
It has come to our attention that a couple of items went missing during pack out following the Greenwich Antiques Show. A small bag containing a group of miniature watercolors and a silhouette, as well as paperwork, was not accounted for, with the possibility that it was stolen from a vehicle. Unfortunately, the items didn’t belong to the dealer, but were in his possession for conservation. Obviously the dealer, as well as the owner of the items are distraught and I’m assisting with providing notice of the situation.
I’m requesting that if anyone has any information regarding this matter to please contact me. If you may have seen any suspicious activity or persons around the facility during packout, specifically around the rear of the gymnasium or back parking lot, please let me know asap.
A police report has been filed with the Greenwich Police department at this time. Also a reward has been offered for the return of the items, as the return of them is obviously the most desired outcome.
Of note, a similar incident is said to have occurred during the packout of another CT show in recent months. Obviously any parallels between the two will be investigated as the concern of shows in the area becoming targets is certainly viable. Please be aware during the chaos of packout of all those around and keep your vehicles and valuable locked and safe.
I’ll be forwarding along some images of the missing items (included above), but in the meantime if any info can be provided we’d really appreciate it. I’ve listed my contact info as well as the Greenwich PD’s info below.
Thank you,
