College Hall of Fame destroyed!

[OldGold1968]

Just saw on news that they trashed the hall of fame. Wonder if anything of value was taken.

Rumor has it, they broke in looking for a uga NC trophy, but couldn’t find one.

Oh I'm sure every single artifact in that building will be stolen or destroyed. Holy god. I think the Cumberland football is in there right now? Please tell me it isn't...

 

[GTRules]

The thugs have ruined any goodwill that might have arisen from this incident.

I think it was right next to the VPI one.

Early reports sounded like it was the gift shop that took the brunt

Damaged not destroyed. It’s still exist.

I didn't know that there was a College Hall of Fame. Are we in it?

 

[smokey_wasp]

They didn't make it to the artifacts. Will probably delay their reopening.

I saw an interview with the head manager of the Hall. She said the artifacts were not damaged. She could be just CYAing. Hard to be believe nothing was damaged.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

It didn’t appear that they went deep inside. Just looted the gift shop mostly. I don’t think they were interested in the tour.

Joke was in the missing word.

If you steal the 222-0 ball, you can’t sell it. That makes it useless for these guys.

He's referring to what these looters will most likely be doing, which is selling the öööö they looted on FB Marketplace or Craigslist or something.

I hope that's not what he's referring to. Because these looters have only the sketchiest idea of what they're gonna do with this stuff. There may be some more experienced thieves in there, but by and large these are young men who delight at the prospect of breaking rules, getting free stuff, and joining in a big party. Monetizing the thefts is a secondary consideration. And besides, there's a black market in everything, including sports paraphernalia. (It's kinda fun to imagine an old Cumberland alumnus willing to pay top dollar to destroy the thing.)

You can’t sell it on the corner, on Craigslist, or eBay, which is about as far as these guys go. You run a big risk of being caught since there’s only one of them and possession implies guilt, so even if you found a buyer, you’d need to use some sophisticated method to exchange the item for cash to avoid implication.

A uga jersey can be unloaded in a Walmart parking lot and doesn’t necessarily tie you back to looting.
