Default A family run Estate Sale ruined by one person

My MIL lived in The Villages for 20 Years and loved it. She died last month at 100. Our family organized a 3 day Estate/garage sale this week end to clear out the house.
There was a beautiful 1903 Singer treadle sewing machine in a wooden case with 6 side drawers. Someone took one of the drawers. WHY !!? And even how--there was one way in and one way out..They had to have hidden it in a bag or purse to get it out.

But another area of concern was the switching of price tags..If the check out person was not involved in the pricing of stuff, they were unaware they were being bamboozled. So let this be a warning to all of you thinking of doing a sale, not everyone is honest.
