STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by spaceshrew on Feb 27, 2014 15:22:48 GMT 1, I was broken into today, in NW London, and had my Stop and Search stolen, it's number 71/500 framed in a black box frame, if anyone has any information on this please get in touch, needless to say there will be a reward for any info on this.
To say how gutted i'am right now is an understatement.
Many thanks, Simon

How would someone know you had it - is it visible from outside?
I'm slightly concerned at the moment - I'm selling my flat and have tons of people coming for viewings, all of who will see my art collection (some of which is either rather recognisable or irreplaceable).

How does one go about getting it replaced in the interim?

It may take years but I think it will happen. Best case is you are insured, the insurance company covers the replacement cost and then shortly after the print gets returned to you.

Thoughts to you and yours

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by thisisanton on Feb 27, 2014 18:24:23 GMT 1, I hate hearing when something like this happens. Hopefully it's insured. I'm sure it will pop up one day. No true collector will buy it and not have it registered under their name. And with you telling PC that it was stolen, I'm sure they will contact you.
So with stolen art does the value decrease dramatically because no honest collector will touch it?

It would be like owning something that in theory has high value, but you can never sell openly. The term "owning" is probably not the right one. I think the print would remain the property of the person it was stolen from (or their insurance company, if the owner claimed on the policy).
That's why people need to be very careful when buying. Check the history, COA and check with POW that it is registered in the name of the person you are buying from.
If the print has been stolen then it could be taken off you and you may not even be able to get the money back from the person who sold it to you. Selling on something that you know to have been stolen could also land you in a load of trouble.
So for all the bargain hunters out there, I would stay well clear of 71/500 until it's back with the rightful owner.

STOLEN STOP AND SEARCH 71/500, by spaceshrew on Feb 27, 2014 19:22:32 GMT 1, Thanks for your kind words really much appreciated. It's sad to see the kids so scared by this, just impossible to hide with Police here and the remains of the front door. Strange they walked straight past i-pads, the wife's handbag, it would seem they came for the art.
I renewed my art insurance last week, thank goodness. I have to say if anyone is thinking like i did, and that extra ยฃ400 could go on something more interesting, don't. I'm with Brownhill and so far they've been excellent, i will keep you all posted on the progress.

I've started getting pretty paranoid leaving the home empty for longer than a couple of days. All insured but I'm seriously considering putting gps transmitters or something on some of the works. No idea if it's possible or indeed just over the top. Hope the scum gets caught and you get back what's yours, we'll all be keeping eyes and ears open
