Huh. I didn't realize the Pinkerton's were still a thing. Its interesting to see an example of how they operate nowadays when they aren't able to roll in armed and ready like the good ol' days.

That being said, I suppose them threatening to call in the police does that for them.

Feels like Inscryption ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscryption ).

Spoilers! But I vividly recommend this game to everyone. Do go in blind, though.

Can confirm, this is a wonderful game that will do wonder if you avoid any kind of information before playing it.

It has amazing creativity, novel and fun gameplay, a very strong personality and an opinionated design.

There was no evidence of wrongdoing on his part. Even if they had evidence that he stole something, a private militia shouldn't be called to enforce this, but a police investigation.

Somebody at WotC should be held liable for this.

Are there no laws in America against this?

Sounds like the buyer should have ASKED for the sheriff.... Private police threatening fines and jail time? Let them say that with law enforcement around for any follow up lawsuit.

A purchase was made and the wrong product arrived at his door.. the seller had legitimate reason to have the product, but broke a street date... The customer did not ask for unreleased product...

Sounds like the dealer is at fault, but not "stolen property"... Do card dealers not own their inventory before a street date? (And, therefore, sold product that was not his?) (Vs. breach of contract)
