Last week, sometime between the third and fourth (final) weekend of the
first-year event "California Renaissance Faire" (on the Ortega Hwy between
San Juan Capistrano and Lake Elsinore) someone made their way thru the
grounds and stole a number of items.  A gaming table from the nobles,
merchandise from vendors, etc.  Worst hit was Pendragon Costume who had two
storage tubs of  product taken. This included a full size selection of their
Desiree bodices both in black suede and black top-grain, a full selection of
their signature tooled bodices, Hand tooled belts, pouches, and tankard
holders, and a couple of doublets.  If anyone comes across someone selling a
selection of Pendragon product (via eBay, rummage sale, small event booth,
privately to acquaintances, etc.), perhaps claiming to be an authorized
reseller - they're not, it's stolen.  (Pendragon normally sells direct only,
their profit margin is too slim to sell via 3rd parties and maintain their
prices).
Please report any suspicious offerings of Pendragon product to authorities,
or to their site PendragonCostumes.com.
This despicable theft was a tremendous loss to the owner, an extremely
hard-working divorced mother of three with no other means of income.
