Not give the theiving bastards any ideas.....but if they bust them out of their cases...they will be lost forever. ****ing shame and this was not some randoom crack head stealing cash and jewels...this ****wit knew what he was after.
thats exactly what i thought rather than be left with items they are scared to shift , crack off cases .possibly remove or add price stickers to items ,maybe inflict some light damage or a few other charactoristics etc to make them look dfrnt , job done sold on .and with threads like this that can be easy read they know now what they have to do aswel not to be caught if they didnt beforehand that is :? :cry: without public threads like this , the seller may have evn been stupid enough to sell on ebay or elsewhere and be caught out quikly
 
This kind of thing makes me sick to the stomach to hear. I hope they catch the Scumbags that did it. From a collectors point of view you simply couldn't imagine much worse. This is major reason why lots of people don't do lime lights etc. Again Deber I'm really sorry to have read this. I remember reading about poor Ed's collection being stolen a few years back, also super terrible.

Best Regards,

*picks up phone* - "find them and kill them" - *puts down phone* :twisted:


This is like when people have engagement rings and things stolen. Items so personal and precious. It's disgusting.
 
What a nightmare :cry:

Really hope you manage to get your collection back somehow Deborah. Gutted for you.
 
First of all I like to thank everyone for there emails, pm's replies and all the help that I have got from all of you! It reall means a lot! I really appreciate it all! Thank you so much!

I have no words to describe how I feel. Not just my SW collection is gone, but most of our things. Some really personal things that have no value to someone else at all.
The idea of someone just coming into your home and doing whatever they like, really make me sick to my stomach!!
I really don't want to be another min in our house. I just want to move and start over again. This is a horrible feeling!


What happend..

They broke in yesterday afternoon. Most of our things where packed in boxes because we are going to move house real soon.
They stole all electronic devices like laptops, desktop, tablets, ipods, blu ray players, tv's, camera and such that where not packed. They took all cash and jewels and all boxes that where packed.
They did this in broad daylight and the one neighbour that was home thought we where moving, so nobody called the police. They just loaded everything thing in a van and drove off. :evil:

All my pics of the AFA labels and my collection are on the desktop and on a SD card that is in the cardholder they took. I have no back up at all. Not just my collection pics but our wedding photo's aswell.
They took some things that are really personal and have no value at all, like all those SD cards. :cry:
I'm really hart broken about this. There is no way to replace them! :cry:

I had most of my collection stored away in a storage we leased. The lease was ending and we decided not to ad another 6 month to the lease so I just collected everything about a week ago.
All option are open to the police at tis time, but it seems to be just very bad luck and timing.
I still had a few things on display in one of my display cases and they didn't even touch it. All SW related things they stole where wrapped in boxed. So it seems thet where just regular burglars and not out for just my SW collection.
The bad thing about that is, there is a big chance they will just throw it away as it will be to hard to sell for them. :shock:



Where things stand at the moment...

We have had contact with most dutch SW dealers here in the Netherlands. I contacted UKG, and an email was sent to Toygrader. To look out if anything will be resubmitted for grading.
You guys have also been a great help, with more and more people knowing about this, it will be very hard for them to sell it, so thank you so much for that.
At this time there isn't a whole lot more we can do but wait and see if some of the items will come up for sale.

As far as collecting goes, I will probably start over again when we have moved house. I will just start with collecting loose figures. Most of the collection wasn't insured because of the move to the new house.So fin collecting anything else than loose figs is out of the question.
And even though the police say it was just bad timing, I don't want a collection with a big price tag on it anymore. I know I shouldn't be scared to collect what I want, but to be honest I am very scared at the moment.
Maybe this will change in the future....
But for now, I just really hope they catch them! Would make sleep a whole lot better!

So sorry to hear about this. More than the star wars items I hope you get your personal photos back...
Fingers crossed that they try to move a least one star wars item on, that might be all it takes to find the scum that broke into your home.
 
Truly gutted for you :( what an awful experience to have to go through. I really hope you are able to recover some of these personal items as like you say they cannot be replaced :( what utter scumbags :evil: I hope they are caught!!
 
Totally gutted for you Deborah total ****ing scumbag low life's that lie on there arses all day and steal of hard working people.

Thinking of you and your family.
 
Again sorry to hear you loosing especially your personal items. The SW collection can be replaced in time but things like wedding photos etc can't. Really hope these bastards have some sense and return the SD cards anonymously.
 
I sincerely hope they catch whoever did it Deborah. You may be right and it could just have been really bad timing. Must be bloody awful to have some scumbag rifle through your belongings. Keep us updated, good luck with the move and in the mean time we will keep our eyes peeled.

Sucks to be burgled, I was once burgled at night while sleeping. They even had the brass balls to drink out of the fridge.

Material items can always be replaced. So long as you have each other that's all that really matters.
 
I'd be completely distraught if my modest bunch of loosies got pinched never mind such a dazzling collection and so many personal items as well. Absolute vermin. So sorry for you. If some crackhead moron broke in and took my telly... bad enough but our collections are much loved and cared for, treasured aside from monetary value. Plus no value can be put on irreplaceable things from our lives.

My heart goes out to you Deborah.
 
:cry: :cry: damn!! if it all wasnt bad enough with everything else they took the only copy of your wedding photos you have, thats heartbreaking.
just make sure you keep at the police :wink: keep them on their toes and make them do their job and not brush this under the carpet more often than not with the police its out of sight out of mind so keep yourself in their mind . there has got to be cctv or road cameras etc of this van and the animals within it somehwere which could give a lead
i wish all the best of luck with everything x jay
 
what a heartbreaker cant believe they took personal stuff too....i mean why..... hope your items find there way back too you somehow

regards

chris
 
Holy crap Deborah, that's terrible to hear, lets hope the police can find the bastards! Did you still have the DT Luke VCJ and blue snag I sold you? I might have pictures with the afa and UKG serial numbers still visible, will check tomorrow.
 
This is heart breaking to hear and honestly makes me wonder whether I should invest so much into these toys.

Such unbelievable bad luck, could it be connected to people who quoted to move you? They would have had knowledge of approximated value of the contents and known that you were due to move, considering they did it in broad daylight and made it look like you were moving out it may be something to consider?!

If you need anything just ask the community and I am sure we will do all to help.
