It only takes one bad apple...

After what was easily the best show in recent memory, a sad report surfaces from good buddy, Dennis Congos from the NY Pipe Show yesterday. Please keep your eyes open, which is good advice on many levels, but particularly for this pipe in case you happen to see it turn up anywhere. As large a community that we are, it is still a small close knit fellowship, so let's be diligent and try to help Dennis recover this stolen pipe.

From Dennis:
Hi,
This is a sad email and I need your help. I have attached a picture of a Charatan Selected that was stolen off my table at the 2016 NYC pipe show on Saturday, March 12, 2016. I am sending this email as an alert for my fellow ICCS members to watch to see if this pipe turns up anywhere. I have asked Rich Esserman to email those on his NYC Pipe Show mailing list in the hopes someone may have seen something or may spot the pipe in the future.
As a group, show attendees are honorable people. It only takes one to bring dishonor.
I thank you for any efforts you may exert in watching for this beautiful Selected. I know my hopes are slim but even a slim hope helps.
Best wishes to you................................
Dennis

Unfortunately, there is plenty of dishonorable activity in our hobby. Outright thievery is not frequently heard of, but I am not surprised that it happens at pipe shows. Pipes are very portable, often very valuable, and easy to liquidate. I hope Mr. Congos is able to recover his pipe, and I will do whatever I can to help.

Here's the pic. skau, you combined two links together. If you copy the last half, back to the http on the first line, here's where you go:
