Hello fellow collectors,
I guess the title kind of gives you an idea of what has happened to me. This morning I went on my storage locker after two and a half month hiatus only to discover that I had been broken in to and items stolen.
The thief had brooken the lock on my replaced it with another locked and taken off with half my stuff. He got my iron man diecast , hulk buster , Hulk, Star wars, marvel lots of stuff. Keep in mind this place had 3 layers of security. Key pad to get passed the gate , key pad to get passed the elevator, and thr lock on the storage unit.
I called the police and they came took pics and thr manager said he will look the video to see what he can find.
I was losing hope I called the local comic and toy stores to see if anybody tried to pawn off any items recently. But had reported it.
In the afternoon i returned to my locked and was search through my stuff to try and take account as to what was taken. I noticed that they left several brown shipping boxing behind. On hope and a prayer and hunch I typed in one of he items in ebay.
2nd listing was my item !!! In my city !!!
Looked at his items found the rest dude had sold 11 items and was currently listing 7 more.
He even took pics of the stuff in another storage facility and some I his bedroom were I can see in the back ground rest if my stuff.
I contact thr police and updated them with this info . The detective assigned to my case will reach out to me tomorrow. Fortunately since they are using ebay there is an electronic trail and he did not sell it in some back alley.
They told me not to do anything and they will get the warrants to get the ip address and catch this #@^#^$.
my question is two parts recovery of my stolen items that were sold on ebay can I get them back.
And I want to purse legal action against this crappy storage unit . Their insurance payout is 5000 . Which is ridiculous my stuff is worth more then that. We suspect it was noeghour in the unit next to me that stole this stuff but they are review the tapes.
This piece of crap place is relying on the store manager to review the tapes rather the have a dedicated loss prevention team handle it.
I want to purse legal action against them. I was scattered when I saw thst my key would not open the locked I was always scared my stuff will get stolen . If somebody knew what I had in there and it eventually happened.
Let me know what you guys think I should take as the next steps?
Thanks ,
Sherif
