Sorry to hear of this incident, was it just the aviation stuff that was targetted or did other household stuff get stolen too?
Placing any photos of the models you had stolen may assist in your aim for forum members to look out for these items.

Sorry to hear of this.
There is one fairly obvious outlet for these items. The aircraft should be fairly noticeable but Franklin Mint RR Silver Ghosts are almost two a penny so it won’t stand out unless it has some very specific marks or damage.

wasnt down in the South East by any chance was it Tony ?.I know of a couple of people who have had unwanted visitors recently and aviation related material has gone missing.
I think it is a good policy if you have a valued collection or a stores of aviation related materail keep the number of visitors or people in th eknow to a limited number.there seems to be a lot of this sort of theft going on at the moment.
In our old workshops we had unwanted visitors and stuff went missing since our move we dont advertise our exact location and keep it down to specific invited visitors only so we can narrow down in future any problems or unwelcome visitors.
