Hello dakka people, my shed was broken into and all my models have been stolen, if anyone posts up the following in the Norwich UK area.

Legion fachion tank
3 land raiders
Lots of marines of various types
Orks
Necrons
Nids
Ravenwing
Storage cases
Please pm me and let me know.

Also keep an eye out on any other sites you visit.

Thanks

Very sorry to hear this =/. This thread might actually get more views in Dakka Discussions so we can move it there if you like.

Do you have pics of any of the models? This list covers much of 40k and since it's not specific would be really hard to spot... if you have pics folks can keep an eye out for them if the thief tries to eBay them / etc!

Have you joined up in any of the mini selling FB groups? I'm sure people could provide links to them.
Really sorry to hear about this, utter nightmare.

Interesting thread title.

Nope, haven't seen them. I live in the USA. Hope you get them back. Sorry about losing them.

Sadly they were mostly boxed up, I only have very old pictures of some of it, the glaive I have none of, if you think it's worth putting on discussions then please do, I'm really only wanting one model back, the screamer killer my brother gave me before he died, I don't care about the rwst

Brutal. If you're part of the Overlords FB group I'd post it up there.

Nothing worse than a fething thief. Sorry to hear of this.

Update: cash converters has contacted me as someone is trying to sell a lot of stuff, they are waiting for him to bring it in and will contact me with pictures

Let us know what happens. If they turn out not to be yours, I am willing to donate you a squad of marines (if you pay the shipping) to help get your collection rebuilt.

Thank you very much for the offer.

ive got about 20 or so bodies and a rhino or two I can throw your way for the cost of shipping to help rebuild.

Another update: I believe we have tracked down. The GOBSHITE that stole my stuff, he tried to sell my dwarfs (I lost so much I still don't know everything he took) and my nib tamiya panzer iv ausf g and puma, cash converters called me and I've passed on my crime number and informed the police, they are now looking into it.

Will update when I know more, again, thank you all for your support.

Keep me updated, I have a squad of marines also, id donate to you to help rebuild if you cover shipping. But across the pond my be futile just on shipping alone.

I hope you get back your stuff. I'd hate to lose models that I'd put time and effort into let alone one that has emotional value added to it.

Good luck fella. I hope they reclaim your stuff for you.

Yes, Dakka Discussions is probably the better location for this - good luck on getting your things back, especially that piece that has more than just monetary value to you!

So sorry to hear that, Formosa. I dearly hope you will get your things back.

Please do

Hope this works out well for you.

I've updated the title since this is no longer in the SwapShop and to reflect the progress. Really hope they can nab the thief, sounds like there is a very good lead!

That is good news! I hope they get the SoB. Keep us updated OP!

Sorry to hear what Happened to you,
I hope you get it all back soon, and the police hit the guy who stole it all hard

Just to echo what everybody else has said - Really sorry to hear about this, would be my absolute worst nightmare but to lose something with sentimantal significance is far worse.

I really hope you get your stuff back and the guy gets caught.

I'm guessing you're based in the Norwich area and have contacted the local clubs etc just in case?

I used to live in Norwich and still have one or two gaming contacts up there so will put the word out on Face Book just in case.

Good luck.

Horrible Situation that I do hope comes to a satisfying closure. Stories like these make me glad I record all my stuff for insurance purposes. Pictures of every squad to cut down on pictures of them all.(still very time consuming for over 500 models). and a description list of all that army includes. Name, model count, weapon loads, MSRP price based on what is included in a box. and Total model count and total and overall price. then upload them online. This is more for If my house gets broken into and computer is stolen too, that way its online and accessible from any PC. My isurance covers if anything happens to any property regardless of where it was stolen. Not all insurances cover that way. and I increased the amount covered by insurance up by 4000$ to cover the models alone.

:(
Thats awful. Hope things work out and you can track the little gak down.

Really hope the Cash Converters lead works out and you get your property back.

What sort of tramp trys to sell some stolen miniatures, to cash converters ???!!??

The stupidity of some people never fails to amaze.

I hope you get it all back OP, there is no worse scum than a thief

UPDATE: police just contacted me, they have a suspect and will be making an arrest this evening, they are now coming over to get a statement from me.

Here's hoping the little gak didn't bin it all.

Really hope you get your stuff back, I guess one of the big advantages of being in a niche hobby is that stolen items are much easier to identify and less easy to sell on.

I hope they catch and charge him but more importantly that you get your stuff back.

Good luck!

Fingers crossed you get most, if not all, of your models back! And that the thief gets locked up for a long time - here in the USA that amount of stolen property would be a much higher level of crime (a felony, versus a misdemeanor) with a much harsher sentence!
