Bandits spotted!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it's true. But we hope that this sort of stealing will be the worst to befall us and our artistic friends during this year's holiday season.

We don't know what drives thieves to steal, but the damage they cause goes beyond the loss to the people and shops they rob. When someone steals from artists who bring their work to the world, the thief is really taking from the entire community and discouraging the very act of dreaming fantasy into reality.
