Stolen cards- Please be on the lookout

[jaws]

Hello everyone. Cards were stolen from my safe.

Long story short:

I moved the safe to my storage unit while a plumbing project was going on in my place. I believe I know who might have taken it, they were pros. I saw who they were and I can identify them. The cameras were conveniently down at the facility during the theft. There are police involved and an investigation underway. Here are the recognizable cards and I’ll add to the list as I go. Please keep your eyes open if something gets listed somewhere and bring it to my attention.

This is always the worst case scenario in collecting. I really hope you manage to recover your cards!

[jaws]

[swolepoke]

Keeps eyes on Mercari, Craigslist, Facebook marketplace. Thefts always seem to pop up there the most, since it allows for in person transactions with no paper trials

[jaws]

Trust me, my eyes are on every platform. I thought I might have found them at one point and tried reaching out through a different account, they haven’t listed any cards yet. These guys are pros. They’ll probably wait to list them for a while if they were smart.

I’m in the process of adding the certs and values to the police report as well as alerting local card shops. The pawn shops will be alerted if they have the cert numbers.

[jeverstones]

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I will keep my eyes open. The unique nature of a lot of these cards will make them very difficult to sell without red flags; hopefully, that will be in your favor in getting them back.

[camrok37]

Damn, I’m really sorry to hear this. I will definitely keep an eye out!

[Dyl]

What a nightmare. So sorry that this happened to you. I agree with jeverstones that a lot of these cards are unique, which may work in your favor in recovering them.

I’ll keep my eyes out.

[mrbubbles]

Sorry friend that this happened to you! Just chiming in to say that I too will be on the lookout. The special nature of the cards makes it a bit easier to flag when they come across. Hope that the Police investigation is fruitful in your favour.

Cheers!

I could swear I seen the electrode recently somewhere. Idk if it’s the same one I’ll have to refind it but it was this past week and I remember it because of the holo shifted downward. I’m sure there’s more than one of these out there but I’ve definitely seen a electrode like that within the last week

[jaws]

I know @shockerb37 has one, this was Qwachansey’s that I purchased. This would also have to be between Sunday April 7th (last week) to current.

[Charizard1020]

I’m sorry that happened. As a collector it’s a big fear having your cards taken. Hope you’re able to find them or get a resolution soon

[conwaytwitty]

Do you think it was employees of the storage unit?

[PkmnTrnAnt]

That is probably the one I saw then. I’m really sorry this happened to you. I hope the ones responsible are caught and punished accordingly by the law. Don’t give up hope they’ll appear. The shining mew that got stolen appeared after a month. They’ll show up and be returned to you

[ReganRampage]

Im really sorry this happened to you. Sending good vibes your way.

[jaws]

Where did you see the electrode?

[jaws]

Only one person works there so someone else might be in on it. She’s definitely not helping them.

[Hitmonhops]

Did they just notice that a safe was brought into the storage unit, or do they know you collect Pokémon. Very scary indeed. Hope this ends well! Sorry this happened to you.

[bbobrob]

Sorry to hear about this. Hope the cards turn up and make a return to you. I’ll try to keep a lookout for the cards.

[azulryu]

Wicked sorry to hear! I hope it all gets sorted and the folks who did this are held responsible and you get everything back.
