I’d prefer if people cannot just walk in with guns either.  Do you even watch the news ?  We live in a scary world with crazy people And there’s huge crowds in these cons. I hope to God nothing bad ever happens.  

There are signs on the convention center that no guns are allowed in. Right next to the no smoking sign, of course. lol

Basically there was about a half dozen dealers.  Worldwide is the reason he was caught, he texted a number of us his photo.  Jim saw him walking the floor and followed him while another member got Stephen.  His MO was to steal a whack from a vendor and bring them back to his daughter, they would then peel stickers off and sell some of the books back to other vendors.  When he was caught his backpack was stuffed with about a 3/4 of a short box, all books taken were raw (that everyone knows of).  Vendors who he took from include but by no means limited to:
Dale, WorldWide, Kristina's, and a couple others that I don't know their booth name.

What is it with Canadians catching thieves at Chicago shows? lol

I did the same with a dude a few years ago.

Yes it's great that one of the vile lowdown varmints that continue  to ruin the good times and attempts for mostly decent folk to make a living is caught. But what about the ones that get away??? Especially this guy!

Metal detectors

I thought the thieves were sneakily grabbing comics, not robbing dealers at gunpoint. Or maybe you meant they would catch them when they left because of the staples?

Seriously, WTF? :screwy:

Every single person entering the show (dealers and exhibitors) had to be screened through security including bag searches and metal detectors.

Yeah, some venues and/or events will do that. But what does that have to do with the thread topic?

Security of the show...its all related. I'm glad they caught the thief.

Clean air you say?  They should have a sign too that says everyone must bathe before entering the hallways!

Oh man, I just did so many air karate moves.

I wanna go down there and unload some vigilante justice on this piece of work...

So glad he got caught.

Yup.  I heard last year some a@@hole stole an AF 15 at a con.  I think the owner should be allowed three non-fatal swings at them with a baseball bat.

Well if the crime took place in Chicago they'll probably let the guy go. Just ask Jussie Smollet.

Jussie's Mullet sounds like Roger Abbott
