PuchiMaiko Theft

I am saddened to say that upon returning home from a craft show last night - I had all of my PuchiMaiko items stolen (nearly $3,000 worth) from the back of the vehicle when we made a brief stop. This occured in downtown Miami on the corner of NE 3rd St and N Miami Avenue in front of the WallFlower Gallery.

I have created a small webpage that lists ALL of the stolen items. I would really appreciate it if everyone can keep an eye out to make sure none of my items appear on ebay or consignment shops when they shouldn't. I don't sell my items anywhere else other than on puchimaiko.com - so if any of these items are for sale elsewhere...they are stolen goods.

I am in the process of filing a report with the Miami Police - hopefully I'll be lucky enough to have the items turned in. I doubt it however.

The list of stolen items is here:

If you'd like to read more about what happened - I have written in my journal.

Let this be a VERY important lesson for ALL craftsers. No matter how secure you think your items are...if you have a strange gut feeling about leavign them - DON'T LEAVE THEM! Go home first to unload THEN do what other errands you need to do. I learnt the hard way, unfortunately.
