Thank you Gwyn for letting me know.

Stay safe Calgary.  I hope the recovery is swift.

Are magicians trustworthy?

What makes this particularly upsetting is not only that it took place at a conference of peers and in a room in where the security and access were controlled, but also that these objects were of great sentimental value to Mr. Carrandi.
