I know what you mean. Things can disappear in ones home without trace. However, my collection was in a closed case and simply could not have fallen out. It would havve had ro be actively removed. When I look at my collection closely I only take out one at a time and put it back in place before moving on.
As for friends... I don't let many handle my collection, so that number would be small. Plus they get the same treatment - one at a time and replace before I hand them another to look at. Someone had to remove it when I was not looking. But you're right - the number is small and only a few would have had the opportunity. I am recalcitrant to accuse anyone without facts so will just have to let it go. And no - no pets :) Gary On 16 Jan 2007 at 14:02, Darren Garrison wrote: > On Tue, 16 Jan 2007 12:47:53 -0500, you wrote: > > >I doubt if this will ever turn up, but someone has taken a very nice, small > >NWA 869 from > >my collection - right from my own home!
