Very sad to hear about this. It's b*llocks frankly that this stuff is allowed to go on! Here's a better story for you, when I DJed abroad at a gig last year I left a Mark IV "If you can'

Anybody who would steal from a mate is lower than a snake's belly.

Kimbo , I really do feel your pain over the lose of your records . Records can be replaced , where as friendship cannot . Personally if someone who I could call a true friend had done anything o
To say I am double-gutted is an understatement. Discovered, after checking my collection many times that 3 records have been stolen from my home by one of my friends. I have no idea which one, because I value and trust them all, or I thought I could. All my friends are from the soul scene, some I have known from the mid 70's and others for over 10 years. Who would suddenly change, and steal from our home?
My records are not kept in the lounge, so they have only been out 3-4 times in the last year. I never lend my records out, and I have checked my small collection many, many times since my stomach turned as I realised they had been taken.
I know they are missing because my wife Lisa started cataloguing them over the new year (2013) and
The Velours - I'm Gonna Change - MGM Demo
Johnny Moore - Walk Like A Man - Date Demo
Gil Blanding - Rules - Ready
were all listed at that time.
Have they been sold to innocent people? I don't know what to think. I know by the amount that was stolen that it was an opportunity theft. I have got my head around the fact that I won't see them again, but the bigger picture is, I want to know who is not welcome in my house again.
My friends who come round can be counted on 2 hands. I think that the records were taken in January/February this year, but other than that I have no idea who would take them. They are my friends!
The Velours is one of my all-time favourite records. Johnny Moore has sentimental value it reminds me of my best mate Mick who was killed in the 70's. Gil Blanding is just a good tune. I can't tell if any others have been taken, although the cataloguing is now finished. I have been through my collection many times to check that there are not 2 records in 1 sleeve etc.
Have they been sold? Have they been kept? If you have acquired any of these records in the last year, please pm me with any names. All I am interested in now is not having a thieving bastard in my home.
Cheers for reading this.
