Seems to me a collector that knew what they were taking would have gotten
horns, lids, doll hat and records. If you notice some of these items were left
behind, These things would have been important to a collector. Sounds more like
the work of someone inexperienced in the items taken, which means they will
surface and probably sooner than latter. We as collectors can keep our eyes and
ears open. They could even be show up EBAY, maybe through one of those "help
you sell" dealers not knowing they are selling hot items.

Funny you should say that, because I thought, "look at all the phonos taken,
and other than that just a clock...seems like they knew what they were taking.

As a retired police officer, this strikes me as odd. These items are not
things usually taken in a break-in, especially by druggies looking for a quick
item to trade. My guess is is that is that the thief is someone who has been in
the home prior and has an interest(sad to say) or knows of an outlet for these
items(usually a collector, which this is a narow field, let's face it) and can
get rid of them.
When I was also active in WWII militaria, I unfortunately saw this happen
more than once, ie: collectors stealing from other collectors. I hope this is
not the case, but reality sucks, unfortunately.
