The KB chip was on ebay close to a year ago. I sent for the ID but forgot to get someone to bid on it for me. I don't do ebay. Ed Hertel did a quick look and found the two articles. I filed the ID and forgot about it until I ran across it this week looking for something else.

I mainly wanted the chip because of the story that went with it. Be sure and read the 2nd article in this post.

This was a huge operation. 150 feet long of typewritten horse betting sheets, card tables, and pool tables..

1945

We have seen quite a few robbery's in past "Illegal Of The Day" posts. I was in one myself where a friend, Big Betty, took a bullet in the shoulder, in Dayton, Ohio.

In my opinion this one was the most thought out and boldest stick up, I have ever read about. He planned it and executed it perfectly. And, " he got away with it!"

1949

I was 7 years old when this happened. Where were you?
