Ok, Here's the set i passed onto Deborah. Appreciate can't make out numbers etc. Trying to find close ups. But at least it's a start

One noticable figure is the vader. It's displayed with saber in hand, specific to UKG. Also notice the little marks from the cape pressed against the front of case, they were always there. ..... Just can't make the number out :evil: will contact Steve at UKG to see if he has a list of the figures i got done?

It would be distinctive if it shows up for sale!

Found a couple more pictures. Tuskan raider and DSC. It appears that the serial numbers on these two end in '4545' and '4645' which would make sense as they were graded together. The full numbers appear to be sw004545 and sw004645...?

Did Deborah send any of here Graded items in herself thus when you look for the serial number in the database her name would be assiocated?

Not sure if she did. ? Hopefully some of the figures already highlighted might surface and give some leads. I believe that there are only a few UKG Vaders displayed this way!

Really **** news - do we have a location yet as unless this was stolen to order then I'd expect these to start appearing on Gumtree/eBay etc

Also if she had a DT Ben then these are as rare as hen's teeth and the whole community will know if one comes up for sale

Could someone link me to the Facebook post?

Also since Deborah was located in the Netherlands, there is a big chance that the stolen items Will be offered for sale by an Netherlands or Belgium or German guy. (Or maybe another european country but not US alot anything like that).

Horrendous news, absolutely gutting. Very sad day

I am sure down the line ( which is no consolation now) the culprit/s will be found simply due to the close knit SW community
And eagle eyed members who will identify anything that comes on to the market.

Really sad to hear this news and hopefully rightful return may happen, as Edd says miracles do happen.

A cracking collection, terrible news.
A break in must be awful, but to have so much stolen is truly horrendous.
I hope this gets resolved.
Debs and the collecting community need a break, as recently it's been all bad news.

Wow. I'm really sorry to hear this! Shocking news. Spiteful bastards. You can bet it has links to one of the forums or possibly ebay or a lurker on the boards. Were Deborahs images saved on her computer or uploaded to a photo sharing site?

Deborah, does this mean the box flat was also stolen?

We need to be vigilant on ebay guys. If anyone Has any potentially useful info please do post. Let's get these scumbags!

These kinda things makes me wonder about getting a mailbox at the post office for buying stuff instead off giving out my adress.

A regular thief would not steal your collection, it must be someone with some knowledge about this stuff.

I'll keep an eye out for you aswell Deborah.

Not necessarily, all of mine had been re-graded but they were still fairly easy to spot. Luckily almost every MOC is unique in some way, it could be a tiny bit of damage, a price sticker, the way the figure is posed inside the bubble etc that the thief can do nothing about.

Thanks just what i needed, i just requested an invite for myself and are allready a member off the group. 8)


Anyway, like i said before, someone stealing a collection is not a regular burglar, but came specificly for that.
It should be somebody who sold to her or bought from her (or know details about her adress), also this means it should be someone within a reasonable distance to do this theft.

Things like this and all the recent other bullshit with after factory seals etc, makes me wonder if if its not about time to quit collecting Moc's.

So gutted for you Deborah, this is shocking & very sad news, you must feel both devastated & violated in equal measures.

Reading between the lines - moving house/all packed in boxes - seems very convenient IMO, I would bank on it that its someone close to you who knew about the move & your collection, hate to say it, but more often than not with this type of crime its someone close rather than a stranger which would only make it 10 times worse, so get your thinking cap on & with luck this low life will get what they deserve.

My thoughts are with you at this troubling time Deb's

This is horrible crap altogether!!! So sorry to hear of an event such as this. It must be devastating and incidents such as this destroy the hobby :twisted:

Anyway I believe one of the blue snags may have been one I sold to Deborah.

AFA number: 17518122

One more question, can pictures off stolen items be added to this thread, this could give us some visual references if some should turn up for sale somewhere.
