My recent SO Kelly 20 stolen

[Sarah_sarah]

Dear lovely members,

I hope I can find some support and help. My recent SO Kelly ostrich 20 in PHW was stolen from my home. The person who did it(I suspect someone I thought I could trust) or people (perhaps the security insider person) knew exactly the cost of the bag as there were other bags and knew that the mini Kelly is easier to conceal from the cameras.
I think this happened between last Sunday and this Sunday. I don’t have a date as the person or people knew I was working really busy and brutal hospital shifts. I am really really sad especially as in the UK I have not been able to reach the police (non emergency) this whole day and instead am doing it online. It doesn’t seem like there is much help and it feels rather horrible. If anyone could help me in terms of letting me know where my bag might be posted or if you see her online, please please contact me. Any support is much needed at this time.
At the end of the day, I hugged my cat and loved ones. I know it is material possession and this bag for me with a symbol of a lot of psychologically achievements.

I cannot give advice but, I can give a virtual hug.

I can’t be of any practical help, but I am very sad that this has happened. I wish you all the best right now.

As you mentioned it’s only a material good and I’m sure you can get another one but I cannot imagine the hurt and violation. I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs

So sorry this happened to you! It's a beauty! The person who stole this really knew its value. OMG. The world is scary.

All the best. I feel your pain and violation. I really do. Hope you can feel safe in your home or take further steps to make yourself feel more secure.

I’m so sorry for what happened to you. I also had an SO stolen, my very first, was so loved. I have yet to recover any of my bags or things sadly, over 1.5 years later. I lost H bags and rtw. I filed a police report, filed an insurance claim, and got most of the value of it back. But it’s the violation and fear of loss again. That’s hard to recover. I do check various reselling sites and local pawn shops, but honestly the thieves have to register anything that is sold, so it ends up in a different market, then to an unsuspecting buyer. It has taken a while to move on, but I am sometimes still scared to carry nice things out in public now. Sometimes I feel okay and enjoy carrying a nice bag. Other times, I look homeless and am very fearful. It’s awful. I hope with time, you find peace and joy in your success in life. You will find other things to replace. You will find it safe again.

Sorry it happened to you, I know it is just a bag and a material item but it is YOURS, and it happened inside your own home by people you trusted to let inside.
I hope the police can do something to recover your bag.

I am so so sorry.

The Met police were very good and worked with me when I had all my Christmas shopping stolen a few years ago (eBay - where I found a lot of the stuff, were terrible) I would not want to revisit that. The Met officer assigned worked with me all through the holidays and took everything very seriously. YOU will have to to all the detective work though, but if fruitful, your research may give them options.

In my case I had a unique product from another brand that had to be MTO. An SO is practically a fingerprint, especially ostrich with it's unique placement of markings. You may want to contact UK resellers, including auction houses in the UK, they will not want to be dealing with stolen goods and keep databases, let them know the PO name and number you're dealing with (when they give you one). Keep checking all listings, every permutation on word-search. I would also let H know JIC, one day that bag will resurface.

I cannot add anything more, except to say that I am so sorry, not only for the loss of a cherished item but for the violation of trust. Hugs
