Those insensitive Hoodlums not only pilfered these machines but they stole something you cannot put a price on, and that was the countless hours and years, chasing down and accumulating these wonders of a bygone era, and the devotion and pride of maintaining and exhibiting them for a whole new generation to discover and for an older generations to reminisce about. This is the real sadness of the crime, apart from the monetary loss.
