Some beautiful, painstakingly handmade costumes and
jewelry were stolen Saturday (1/7) from a car in front of an SCA friend of
mines' house off 680 & Hostetter. Just thought somebody might see this
on Ebay or something. There is a link to pictures of everything.

Hello all-
(I'm sending this post to literally everyone in my email address book.
At a minimum, it will serve as a sad reminder to never leave anything
of value in your car.)
Genevieve de Vendome's (Toni Whyte's) beautiful Elizabethan 12th Night
costume and jewelry was STOLEN from her car in front of my house last
night.
Below is a detailed list of the missing items which are of great
sentimental value (not to mention a lot of work on the part of many
SCA artisans). Several pictures are also posted online at:

Please cross post his missive to any and all lists that you can think
of in hopes of locating the stolen items; with only six degrees of
separation, hopefully someone somewhere will see these if & when they
surface.
If anyone hears or sees anything resembling these at pawn
shops/antique stores/email lists/ ebay, please let me know:
