Stolen trailer carried a fortune in antiques

Andrew Vogel was at the verge of tears Wednesday when he spoke of his stolen trailer carrying 4,000 English antiques worth $1 million.

Vogel, 43, and his wife, Kelly, were staying at a tucked-away Hampton Inn Hotel, west of West Palm Beach, Fla.. They were headed back to Chicago after driving to Palm Beach County for the Winter Antique Show at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in West Palm Beach over the weekend.

When Andrew Vogel looked out his hotel window about 9 a.m. Tuesday, his heart dropped, he said. His 16-foot-long, 9-foot-tall dark blue Avenger trailer with Illinois plates was gone. He had to disconnect it from his car because of parking but there was a lock on it, he said.

"It's our livelihood," he said Wednesday. "We have our heart and soul in these pieces.

I can't imagine what a hit like that would do to a person.

That stinks! If you have any particulars or pictures of any of the stolen items in that trailer, I'd be happy to post them on my blog.
