Break in at TMTerrain (1 Viewer)

[attic_david]

We had a break in today at our unit and we have lost alot of stock. It includes Collectors Showcase - ACW, Nap and WW2- tanks and infantry
First Legion- Bavarians and French infantry and unpainted 40mm
John Jenkins- FIW, Jacobite and 1812
Patriot- napoleonic
Old North West- WW1 and ACW

I think they were opportunists rather than stealing to order so I would imagine we will see the stock appear on ebay and other auction sites. This is the only way I think we will have any chance of getting anything back.
Please, if you see anything suspicious or are approached with cheap stock please email us with a private email and we can see if we can track anything down.
On the bright side, we are insured (but is that going to be any good we will see), no one got hurt and the business is not threatened. The orders for the show in March haven't arrived yet so that will all be there. We have lost some rare stuff and stock we will not be able to re supply. If you have been promised anything from us over the last few weeks and we had put it to one side I can't guarantee we will still have it. I would think we will get back working properly once we have sorted out with the insurance company and we know what we can afford to re supply. If you find our response a little slower than usual please forgive us.
I am posting this same thread on the other manufactures categories so if you have read this one ignore the others!

Very sorry to hear about the break-in. One thing for sure--we are a small and close-knit hobby and the thieves will have a difficult time quietly fencing the stolen goods to collectors without raising suspicion.

Best of luck sorting it all out,

David,
My thoughts are with you guys...I know you're probably fired up over the violation of your person! I pisses me off!
Don't tell me the Rorke's Drift buildings were part of it!! May they receive their just reward
All the Best,
Mike

Is it possible to give us a list, so that we can check ebay for the exact items..Were there one of a kind items, that might send up red flags to us, as we look out for them..Michael

I hate thieves with a passion.

You work hard, you struggle, you make sacrifices and somebody takes your livelihood.

I'm sure your suppliers will be sympathetic and restore your stock immediately and I'm sure your customers will understand any delay and be patient.

It's not a crisis and you will recover. My condolences, I really hate thieves.

A list is a good idea, I'm on Ebay a lot and will look if you post one.

It's heart breaking to hear this.
Glad that no one got hurt.
Hope things will be back to normal very soon.
