This story is 5 years old.I don't believe that Doug Norwine continues to work
at Heritage; at least not in the capacity described. If someone has a real
claim, supported by facts then they should have filed a draft complaint; sued
or settled by now.
I don't know what the "time-barred" limitations are in Texas, but "whining"
about this seems endless.

And what was the name of this person's grandmother? Why would William not
include this?
Seems very odd to leave that little bit of information out of the story, as
anyone could write such a claim, saying that his/her unnamed, anonymous grandma
or aunt was in GWTW.

Surely, if someone's sending family heirlooms off to auction, what they
can't describe them as is "totally priceless".

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
