Ah yes, Bytesdog...she is quickly becoming well-known in the Sacramento area as the "Pyrex Princess" and has quite an affinity for the 13 x 9 inch casserole dish. She makes the rounds at our Hostess Parties and always is soooo friendly. Her M.O. is to bring a used, best-up, chipped casserole dish filled with a fluffy desert concoction or something similar. She carries this in a nice little corduroy caddie (grey with cute pink poodle emblems on the sides...with cotton ball tails). Well, needless to say, everyone goes gaga over the caddie and that is when she makes her move. "Hey girls, let me help you clean-up," and she heads to the sink and sings as the bubbles fly and she scours the dishes. She casually loads one of the really nice "collectible" casserole dishes in her caddie and unsuspectingly leaves hers still soaking in the sink...then she is gone before you know it. It isn't till after the party, when folks start looking for their dishes, that they realize what happened. It is usually weeks later during casual conversation between friends that the news of her activity gets around. She never moves in the same circle either so that is how she doesn't get caught. I am sadly missing a very expensive Jadite "Fire-King" casserole dish. Thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us victims here wuuufffffy!!!! I am eyeing eBay to see if my dish pops up there. "Pyrex Princess...be dayumed."

Edited to add this picture of my missing dish.
