I'm back from the park, happy that we ate at this really cool Greek spot that serves a lot of food for $6.00 at lunch time. I open my email and what do I see? A Poppy D blurb at Zoomf in my Friendsfeed about some real estate dude who decides to help himself to a painting or two to help make ends meet.

Dude is suppose to be helping his high-end clients, not "borrowing" their expensive eye candy for nefarious reasons. Check out the above link to see what neat opportunities this guy squandered besides his freedom... BTW, he looks really dapper in a very swanky, cool, expensive suit. I wonder how much that ran him? I would also love to know where he shops... He has very good taste in clothes and paintings, but very poor judgment... He makes me want to keep people out of my house...

Fred, we all must be very careful. No one really knows anyone else's heart...

Bill, I'm looking forward to hearing more about the case and seeing justice served. This is horrible.

Neal, that is scary... (LOL)

Duane, who knows what else he helped himself to at this point...

Debbie, I have never caught the show but now I'm looking for it.

Darin, I'm glad he got caught. Someone stole one of my painting right out of the Gallery. Not nice!

C Sally C, TOO FUNNY!

I can't believe it. Here I was watching that show thinking to myself how I wish I could be on that show... maybe I'm not doing something right....oh yeah like stealing from my clients.

Fran, I actually had that very thought! Oh my word, now wouldn't that be a nightmare for Realtors across the globe!

Michelle -- TOO FUNNY! (ROTFL) I wonder if the show even knows what this guy has been charged with! Poppy is in the United Kingdom and picked up on it. I'm here with you guys and had absolutely no idea this happened. Wow! I plan on looking more into it because I'm curious about the art that was taken.

Darn I forgot to hide all my Picassos and the Rembrandt. Oh not to worry, I did not invite any Million Dollar Agents to the party so the paintings are safe. Seriously this guy is a sleaze. I am glad he got caught.

Haaa! Paddy, you have such a way with words (LOL). Lock up your scissors and crayons as well, the minions are coming to your house tomorrow! ;-)

He'd be pretty disappointed at my house. My art is pictures all over the place of my family and I! Good post!

Thank you, Celina. :-)

C. That stinks.. he is a rat. It is people like this that hurts the reputation of other Agents.

Aug 08, 2008 01:22 PM

Thank you, Laura. It is very disappointing to hear of incidents like this...

How funny!!! He's not only an art theif, but a reality TV star!!! Maybe that explains the poor judgement thing!

He will claim temporary insanity or something like that cause he couldn't afford to buy all those fancy threads anymore. He had to keep up his lifestyle if he was to continue to deal with high end properties.

C - well that's not good. However, invite him over, if he rips off some of your work you will know that he considers you in a class with Picasso and Chagall. That would be one positive. Then you could sic the boys on him.

See It. Experience It. Live It.

He's not too smart if he thought the disappearance of those paintings would go unnoticed!

I hope your week has "smoothed" out some.

Aug 09, 2008 02:40 AM

Pam, I am sooo into irony! :-)

Don, this should be very interesting.

Big Mike, too funny!

Sondra, I still have a few bumps that need to be ironed out, but things are shaping up here and there.

You Deserve The Best

I am shocked. Why? I dunno.

Aug 11, 2008 03:34 AM

Haaa! Mel, that sums it all up just about as nicely as anything else I've run across. (LOL)
