This is good one. The customer I sold my mask to a couple weeks ago went to Vermont to this huge old school party gathering thing. Kind of a mix. Anyway he came back and told me the minute he got there and put his mask down after flying 3000 miles, and it was stolen! I was surprised and I laughed at the same time. The lesson was that even someone else will find your purchase desirable especially a fine art mask made by Tahoe Expressions! He said he will continue to collect all my masks though! I was honored and humbled. We both learned something. Once you've bought what you wanted, if you lose it(stolen), then you would want to replace it immediately. I cannot replace that exact mask he had, but another version. My claim is all masks are not exact reproductions because they are painted different every time, with documentation on back of mask. So whoever stole my buddies mask, shame on you, and if you look at the back you'll see my website and actually purchase one? Good Karma comes from good will. Peace
