Heiko,

When I look at your medal bars, it hurts me too much to see how a great collection could vanish so quickly.

I really wish with all my heart that you will get your bars back and that the thief/ves will be taken!

I don't think (I don't even want to consider that) that the thieves will be so stupid to take apart the bars. Nowadays such bars, especially the named ones, are a lot more valuable than the single orders & medals added together.

Ciao,

Claudio

Heiko,

I'm so sorry for you. It is a shame. We collect for several years and all disappear in one hour. I don't understand I hope that one day you can find them again.

Heiko, you should give all these information to the BDOS, Michael Autengruber, Fa. Thies and Herrmann Historica, Kalies, Weitze asap. I'll also keep my eyes open!

I am sorry Claudio, but I think these impressive bars are not for sale on the normal channels. There would be a too great risk for the thiefes.

Either they rip them apart or someone gave the order for the robbery and is now sitting in his celler with all the fine bars

All the best for you Heiko !!!
