Stolen Awards.

[Chris]

I was watching the news channel on Russian TV the other day and it showed a collector who had been murdered for his badges and medals.


As per usual and not just common to Russia they showed him and his family murdered in all it’s gory detail for what I would imagine would be his modest collection…who knows he may have had some great pieces.

The police said that he had shown his items at a collectors fair and this is probably how the crooks got on to him and followed him home.

His home was the typical modest flat.

So sad to see a family butchered.

I think that is why I am very happy to post here, a sort of release to share, as I keep my passion very private.

I know that if the wrong people new what I had they would come prepared and they would come.

It has made me realise that nobody except those on the forum have seen any of my collection (real or fake) as I have deliberately kept it a very private affair.

So sad that these things have to be hidden, I also make sure that people I deal with here are kept at arms length…paranoia or what!

The Forum has at least made up for this.

Thanks Art
