Hudson J1e: yes, in-show theft would most assuredly be a hobbyist. I have often had a subliminal thought walking through a big show like the March Meet/Chicago, how tempting must be all of these beautiful trains. And really, no one aggressively guarding them. I sort of clung to the thought that many vendors have told me that they find hobbyists' checks never bounce; was hoping that honesty permeated all activity. To lose a Burlington 2-10-4 or Milw Hiawatha - too painful to contemplate.
