Title: STOLEN POSTERS - PLEASE READ
Post by: CSM on August 23, 2016, 01:53:17 PM
The following three linenbacked and freshly restored posters were stolen during transit through either the USPS or Canada Post mail service between August 15-22, 2016.  I would greatly appreciate contact via private message or e-mail or even a forum post should you believe you have been offered the posters or spotted them for sale/auction in the future.  Again, I am indebted to anyone who may be able to assist in their recovery:

Disgusting.
If I get to 'em before you do, Chris, I'll leave a few pounds of flesh for you to fry.
Bastards....

Same shits that probably nipped my Nurse 3D and a dozen other posters destined for Holiday a few years back.

Chris, were your posters traveling back to you from the US? Sounds like it but was wanting to make sure. Hope there has been some news or any little bit of info that might help to get this solved and the posters back to you.

I held my breath for a second, when, just looking on ebay, I saw this LB copy of The Lost Weekend being offered for sale. I was looking for small details/anomalies specific to yours that might be shown on this copy, too (or not).

No news...as was expected unfortunately.  Yes they were traveling back from the US.  Thanks for posting the auction Jeff but that seller has had that particular copy for sale for a very long time so it cannot be my copy...

And on closer inspection of the 2 images, I could see an area of slight variation between the 2 copies and figured it also wasnt yours.

The hunt and lookout continues, Chris.  8)

Ted and I had this happen a few years ago with a poster he sent me.  The tube came in empty, and the schmuck that took it did not even bother to try and hide the evidence. I was so in shock, I disbelievingly looked into the empty tube as I shook it upside down waiting for something to materialize from the emptiness.  Now that I think of it, this sounds more like the story of my mid-life sex life than a story of poster theft :)

Hey Chris, I will pin this thread so that any and all can check this out and keep their eyes peeled as well. The more that are aware and on the lookout, the better.  ;)

Sadly nothing to report Jeff :(  The USPS Inspector General has been contacted but still not holding out much hope.

Here's hoping that something good comes out of all of this for you, Chris.

Just another check in, Chris.

Any word, news or potential lead of any kind?  prayer.gif

Unfortunately, nothing new to report Jeff.  I would appreciate anyone who is so inclined to continue to keep an eye out for these three titles.

Bruce has an African Queen up but on close comparison it sadly does not appear to be my copy...

That sucks hard, Chris.
Not sure if this was asked before, but did you have these posters insured?
If so, did USPS pay you off in a timely fashion?

Sorry that there's been no news, yet, Chris. I'm sure you were holding your breath a bit when that copy appeared on emp.

Eyes are still keeping watch.  binoc.gif

Same old story Jeff - radio silence.  Quite perplexing that not one of the three has appeared to have surfaced anywhere. 

I knew the second I grabbed the tube from the front door and saw the open end that the chances of a happy outcome were extremely remote  :'(

Still not a peep or possible sightings, Chris?
