Stolen
Items Announcement Board
Has your paper money, coins
or stamps got stolen or lost in the mail? Were they
valuable?
At least $100 in total value?
Was that a collection or a
single item(items)? Would you like
other collectors and dealers know about that and let them be
aware of buying stolen collectibles
or even catch a thief? If yes, then e-mail me
all details including full description, catalogue
number(s), serial numbers, URL(s) of images of items that were
stolen from you or that were
lost in the mail and I will gladly post them here for you. There
is no charge for placing stolen/lost
items here, of course. I'm glad I can help you and let others
know not to buy stolen material.
