Cards stolen, please look out for D310, D380, Mono, and Derby Cigar

[dstudeba]

Hi All,

Sorry to bring up unpleasant topics, but we were the victim of a home burglary today in San Diego. They got a couple of laptops, camera, pile of cards, spare change, juice boxes, girl scout cookies, and backpacks. I was hoping you could keep an eye out for the following cards. (Please note there are multiple D310s, but I only pasted a picture of one)

Derby Cigars Snodgrass
D380 Lagoe
D310 Ables
D310 Akin
D310 Byram
D310 Carlisle
D310 Holland
D310 Pfyl
D310 Rapps
D310 Ross
T217 Chadbourn

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can track them down. The important thing is that you and your family are okay.

So sorry to hear this Dan, and in a beautiful safe city like San Diego! Very upsetting news. Hope somebody finds those cards (they can eat the cookies).

Very sorry to hear this. A phone call to the local card store(s) would be a place to start. Good luck

[calvindog]

Jeez, that is a horrible shame.

So sorry to hear that.

You might want to consider posting the graded cards' registration numbers, if you have them. This would allow people to check if they are buying your exact cards.

if they stole juice boxes, girl scout cookies and baseball cards, good chance your thief is a neighborhood kid. Start asking all the neighborhood parents which of their kids didn't eat dinner after the crime occurred, they were probably full from their take.

Dan- that sucks! I am really sorry to hear of this. Perhaps you could post scans of all the D310s as I always check out 310s and 311s on ebay and in auctions.

That does actually sound like a valid point. The laptops, camera, spare change, juice boxes, cookies and backpacks all sound like stuff a school aged kid would take. The cards are the only thing that really doesn't fit in.

Spare change actually sounds like something a Meth addict would take. The drug has been running rampant in my area lately and if I accidentally leave my car unlocked, my spare change is missing. Sad, really. I would check the local hobby shops. PJ's is the only one I can think of down there. (its been a while) Also check pawn shops.

Good luck.

That sucks Dan...sorry to hear it. Hopefully your local PD will catch the lowlife scumbag(s).

Edited to add: I stuck it to the top so this thread doesn't migrate to the bottom too quickly.

I feel terrible for you, I hope you recover your cards and belongings. It just has to drive home the fact that we as collectors need to keep our items secure and safe.

Dan,
That really sucks. I am sorry to hear it.

This is horrible Dan! My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. If there is anything I can do, please shoot me an email thanks. Dan Mckee

[dstudeba]

Thanks a lot for all the support. It is very much appreciated.

Life has gotten back to normal and it seems to have had little affect on the rest of the family. No leads on the cards or anything else yet, but I am not worrying about it constantly anymore. As time passes it will get much easier. In the end, I still have everything that is important to me, and whomever did this is desperately looking for their next score.

[dstudeba]

And Dan, thank you very much for sticking it to the top!

[caramelcard]

Dan,

This is horrible. I will surely keep an eye out and contact a few folks that I know in SD to also watch out. I really hope you get these back and sorry it happened.
