theiving bastards

So I'm heading over to the Darlington to deliver a coffee table and a sleeping pad to [livejournal.com profile] plantyhamchuk. I pull around to the back by the loading dock. Since the glass top to the coffee table is blocking access to the back seat of my car, I unload it and put it next to the door. I also unload the base and put it by the glass, so people will see that there is something there, and not knock over the glass.

I noticed that one of the suction cup thingies was missing from the base, so I walk the 20 feet back to my car to look for it. After about 45 seconds of looking, I fail to find it in the dark, so I walk back to the door.

THE COFFEE TABLE IS GONE! In less than a minute, someone opened the door, saw the coffee table and decide to take it. I stand outside the door, fuming for a minute. Joy opens the door to let me in. She's got a shopping cart to help carry the table. I explain the disappearance of the table. She says "I helped that guy on to the elevator! I thought that table looked familiar!"

So be aware, there is an evil coffee table thieving son of a bitch loose in The Darlington.
