Heritage Auction Galleries / Mr. Doug Norwine /
Heritage Galleries And Auctioneers A Life Time of Memories are Gone With The
Wind, Treasured Inheritance vanishes from FedEx box Dallas Texas
Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me and now my inheritance worth $30k to $40k is
missing!
Heritage
Auction Galleries, located in Dallas Texas is the subject of this
Rip-off report. The Director of Music and Entertainment Memorabilia for
Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers is Mr. Doug Norwine. I will present
the evidence that will prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt that Mr.
Doug Norwine lied to me. It also appears that Mr. Norwine was
responsible for misrepresentation as it relates to my deceased
grandmother being in the movie “Gone With The Windâ€.
My
grandmother was Miss. California in 1935 and then she became a Hollywood
movie actress. She had a fantastic collection of movie star
photographs. I had fantastic 11 x 16 and 8 x 11 inch autographed
photographs and snap shot pictures. I had snap shots of my grandmother
with the original Three Stooges, Betty Grable and many others. I had a
full two page newspaper article that was all about my grandmother. This
same two page newspaper article had a picture of Bing Crosby with his
arm around my grandmothers’ waist. How cool is that? I sent my only
copy to Mr. Norwine, it was totally priceless.
I had pictures of
my grandmother in costume on the movie set for “China Seas†which
stared Humphrey Bogart. I had snap shots of Carol Lombard on the motion
picture back lot. I had 11 x 16 inch photographs signed of Jayne Wyman
(President Ronald Regan’s first wife), Ann Southern, Florence rice,
and many many more!
I had original “Gone With The Wind†movie
stills, my grandmothers’ Motion Picture Employee identification card,
and many original photographs of movie stars from the 1930’s and
1940’s. The vast majority of these photographs had a personalized note
or wishes in addition to the signature of the movie star.
Mr.
Doug Norwine claims he personally signed for the FedEx box, but that is
not the truth. I have proof that Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me.
I
spoke to Mr. Doug Norwine late in the afternoon on 2\16\2006. He said
the deadline to have my parasol included in their upcoming auction
catalog was the very next day.
Mr. Doug Norwine asked me to send
my photograph and newspaper collection with my parasol. He said that
these collections would support the authenticity of my parasol being
used in the movie “Gone With The Windâ€.
The box went FedEx
overnight from California to Texas. Mr. Doug Norwine said he signed for
the box and opened it himself. He said the photographs and newspaper
articles were not in the box.
Photograph and newspaper collections do not just selectively vanish from sealed
FedEx boxes while in transit.
Thank God I took pictures of my photograph collection right before I mailed
them to Mr. Doug Norwine.
I put the photograph and newspaper article collections in the box. They had to
be there when the box was opened.
The
FedEx “Track Shipments Detailed Results†printout that I have shows
a person with the name of “S.MCCLENNY†signed for the box on Feb.
17, 2006 at 9:03 AM. The tracking number is 841186856634.
I
called FedEx to inquire about the possibility of there being a mistake
about who signed for my box. FedEx said there was no mistake. The
FedEx customer service person that I spoke to said that a person with
the name “S.MCCLENNY†signed for the box, not Mr. Doug Norwine.
Someone
is lying. Either I lied about putting the photograph and newspaper
collections in the box with my parasol and continue to do so by virtue
off writing this rip off report or Mr. Doug Norwine is lying.
I
am telling the truth. I am not lying. I will go take a lie detector
test today and be happy to have anyone that is interested witness it.
I
personally put my parasol, the photograph and newspaper collections
into a plain brown box that I found around the duplex my wife and I were
renting. I taped the box closed and took the box to the closest FedEx
office. I personally witnessed the FedEx employee weigh the box, fill
out the FedEx USA Airbill, attach it to the box, and then put my box
with all the other boxes waiting for the next and last pickup for that
day.
Why did he lie to me? What did or does he have to hide from
me? Not only did he lie to me but, he adding insult to injury, told
me, half laughing as he spoke his words, to look around my house. He
said I might find my photograph and newspaper collection in a drawer.
I
could not believe the audacity, the cold hearted tone of voice, and
unprofessional behavior. I was being ripped off, lied to, and insulted
by a man who I had previously thought must be trustworthy. How wrong I
was. I should have listened to my wife! She told me not to send my
photographs and newspaper articles to Mr. Doug Norwine.
Are all the essential elements of a Bad Faith law suit present? Grand Theft?
I
am 47 years old. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 7 years
ago. I was an Immigration Information Officer for the Federal
Department of Justice for 4 ½ to 5 of the last 6 years. My hands and
head started to shake more and more. I had to take a medical leave from
I.N.S. I.N.S. is now called C.I.S.
There are some memory issues
as Parkinson’s disease progresses. I might go upstairs and then once
there, forget why I went upstairs or forget the name of a meal that my
wife has cooked 100 times but I did not forget what I did with my
treasured inheritance. I know exactly what I did with it, when and
where it was the last time I saw it.
The last time I saw it was
when it was in the box that had a FedEx USA Airbill with Doug Norwine
listed as the recipient, Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers as the
company, and 3500 Maple Avenue, 17th floor, Dallas Texas 75219. I am
listed as the sender, William ; I now live in Coalinga, California.
How
can anyone trust anything Doug Norwine says anymore? Once it is
established that he lied to me, doesn’t he earn the loss of any and
all creditability?
If I was Mr. Steve Ivy, the CEO or Mr. Greg
Rohan, the President of Heritage Auction Galleries, I would ask or tell
Doug Norwine to go take a lie detector test TODAY. If he has not lied
and if he has no knowledge of my missing collections, he should have no
problem taking a lie detector test TODAY!
I can not prove that he
took my collection, but I can prove that he lied to me about who signed
for the box. Why did Doug Norwine lie to me about signing for my box?
What was Doug Norwine trying to hide from me, his customer; from me,
Heritage Auction Galleries’ customer?
How can anyone trust anything he says anymore?
One
thing for sure is that Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me several times.
Another thing for sure is that my inheritance did not just vanish from
the FedEx box. Captain Kirk or Spock did not beam them up out of the
box and leave the parasol?
Now my inheritance, that I estimate the value to me to be over $30,000 is
missing.
Since
things like that don’t just vanish, they have to be physically in
someone’s possession, and the question is in whose possession.
Perhaps they are in S.MCCLENNY’s possession.
I am ready to go take a lie detector test today
I believe that I would have gotten 10 to 100 times more than the $650.00
that it finally sold for in their auction. Mr. Doug Norwine cost me
big time.
The auction catalog stated that the owner of the
parasol was in the movie “Gone With The Windâ€. I never told Doug
Norwine that my grandmother was in the movie, so who gave the
advertising copy to go with the picture in the catalog?
Where is my photograph collection and articles collection?
I want them returned, no questions asked
