****ing hell, very sad to here about this Edd.

If you get a list of what went missing and send it on, especially AFA serial numbers, I'll keep a look out for you.

 

[lee gray]

That certainly sucks, hope they were insured plus the afa number ones can be watched out for

 

[bluesnagman]

Edd,
I am very sorry about what happened. I hope everything turns out right.

This is just awful ed I can't imagine how gutting it must be

The online identity thing is something I've often thought about. You said in another post you'd been scammed a few times recently. Perhaps a bogus ebayer could see your focus on the forums and set you up with some bait on ebay. Were any of these scams that got you Luke Bespins? It's a long shot but scammers will try anything.

Other chance is someone that knows you in real life has seen what you collect through the site. Again a long shot but you never know.

 

[jabbawokkie]

if you ask me they had to know you with taking the stuff they did

 

[Graham_Marshall]

Edd. I am so sorry to hear this. It really is a sad day when this something like this happens. You are probably right about it being some collector who knows your address . I just hope you can get your money from the insurance. And I hope that the wanker who ripped you off gets his in the end. We all owe a hell of a lot to you for starting and running this site. My sympatyhies to you and your family. Can't have been nice for them either.

errrr he just started the site then we took over last christmas. :wink: :lol:

I remember some years a go, Mr Jim " Star Wars " Stevenson had parts of his collection stolen, again it seemed like they knew what they were after as he had Film props stolen and some truly stunning stuff stolen.
Don't think they ever traced it but this was before the days of ebay when there's a slight chance the items might surface.

Jim did find out who it was. It was one of his "freinds" :roll: :evil:

I'm not convinced it's a collector who knows edd who did it and here's why:-

From the picture we can see all the MOC's on the bottom shelves are gone and the top shelves look undisturbed. A duvet cover was used to take them. The burglar stopped when it was full is all, and started with the ones which were easier to reach on the lower shelves. If someone was stealing the luke bespin focus, wouldn't the popy have gone too? They also took vinyl records. Why would a collector nick those?

I've ben burglared twice. On the second occasion, a lot of stuff went. The burglars made use of items in the house to assist with burglary. i.e. they don't get caught with lots of empty bags etc, gloves on the way to the place they are going to rob. Which is what happened here with the use of the duvet cover.

And look at this from a collector's point of view. They are going to risk life and liberty for a collection they know they are never going to be able to show another collector or sell because of the one of a kind nature of the stuff they are nicking. And they've never robbed before. It doesn't make sense. Paranoia would say it's someone who knows you.

Occam's razor, the simplest explanation is probably the right one. Teenage burglar(s) with a track record for burgalry, one who knows someone he can shift records and old vintage toys too (he's knows enough to know they're valuable.) for a bit of cash. They don't don't want to be storing stolen goods in case the police raid them. Or maybe they have a lock up and a business of selling stolen goods on ebay.

That's where I'd be looking. ebay and/or dodgy geezers who buy stolen stuff from known burglars.
