    350k Toy Collection Stolen...

    They caught the theives, but the loot is gone. Not sure the basement of an abandoned house is the BEST place to keep 350k worth of stuff, but it's a shame nonetheless.

    Thieves take $350,000 worth of toys out of Portland home from Frank Kidd, owner of Kidd's Toy Museum | – OregonLive.com

    That's just so sad. Even though they got the guys, it doesn't get his stuff back. Poor man.

        I hope he gets most of his collection back.
        And that story sounds a lot like the one of Bill getting his Mego collection stolen

          You can see the pain in his face that, as collectors, we can all relate too. A lifetime of collecting shattered. Sucks! JOHN

              Wow, how awful. The lesson here is that we all should be documenting and insuring our collections. And if we don't live with them, making sure they're secure and checking on them on a regular basis.

                          The feeling of being robbed is just north of someone dying. I hope her recovers the rest.

                              My collection is fully ensured for damages, but they won't cover theft.
                              Jeez.
                              I should have collected paintings or something....
