Babe Ruth autographed photo.
When I was a kid me and my friend would sell baseball cards at his mom's yearly garage sale. Each year this jerk in his 30's would come and tell us how shitty our collection was. So I decided to offer up an autographed Babe Ruth photo to increase the prestige of our little store when he came. I of course had cut the photo out of a baseball magazine and applied the signature myself and put it in an old frame.
So when the jerk showed up that year he was all business! First he tried to scam me out of it in a lop sided trade, but I told him $10,000 or nothing. Now here is where it gets interesting. The next morning the photo was gone! Then the day after that was garbage day for the neighborhood, and we saw that actual frame (now empty) sitting in a box at the curb of that guy! He was the one who stole it!
