    a van was used , that's for sure , and it all happened on a week-end , while we were on a hollyday , they searched trough everything , leaving the cheaper things behind . More things were left behind , near the door , such as weapons , hand grenades , so they had to run in a hurry (?)and planned to come back later on (?), as we were suposed not to come home that week , but we returned the very same day from our hollyday,

    We're not better off here , I think it's a common habit nowadays , unfortunately for those who are serious , and act the way they should , my trust is far gone now ,

    I advice everybody now , take good close up pictures from your stuff , detailed , as good as possible , because it's really difficult as time goes by to recognize your items .
    I hope if anything turns up , anywhere , people will be honest to tell or call to local police forces , because it's a very big loss , financially and emotionally. Yesterday I got a message from a german collector , who's motorbike Harley Davidson and collection has been stolen , I hope the thieves will get caught

    vous avez bien raison , mais que peut je faire , je visite les bourses , les marchés aux puces , je demande à tout le monde , de bon volonté , ci quelque chose vous serait offert , faisant partie de ma liste , n'hésite pas de me renseigner ou demander des photo's , je garde l'espoir qu'un jour , quelque chose sera offert sur le marché , et j'espère qu'il y-a des gens pour qui l'honneur et encore plus important que de grandir la collection avec des pieces volées
