Thought I'd start a new thread for this and any other stolen items that could be identified.
Below is from their Facebook page. A key item stolen is a golden goose.
Tasmania Police

Oh no so we have lost another gold swan! :(
Mark my words it is already scrapped
Do collectors believe in safes? True, all safes can be broken into, but a good heavy one is a detriment to burglars.

That is provided you have a good secure base that will take the weight of the safe!
Nothing is impregnable given enough time, motivation and resources
With a big enough standing army you could take fort Knox.
Hello,
Even safety deposit box's in Banks get robbed. A good hiding spot is cheaper than a safe, and if nobody knows what you have, your Lap top or whatever is the current thing to steal will be all you lose. Does not sound like a druggie, more like somebody knew what was there. A safe in your garage and a Dog in the yard would be my suggestion. Statistically you are far less likely to be broken into if you have a Dog. And you will never lose your keys. How come ? Clip the Keys to the Dog's collar, when you need them call the Dog and they come to you ! Now for another Dog story I heard from a Ranger. A bloke comes home, and his Dog has bailed up a bloke on his door-step. What had happened is a burglar broke in, and was loading his Van with the owners property. The Dog who was happy enough in the yard took exception to this and jumped the fence !
Long story that i posted here a while back,guy on the Gold Coast lost several valuable gold/silver coins he had hidden in a old printer.Apparently thieves have a small metal detector of some sort and can locate metals like coins & hidden safes.
yes
a guy who I know was robbed last year & the coppers reckon that they zoom around the house with a metal detector
in 30 minutes they took over $35,000 worth of gold jewellery (Indian family)
So moral of the story is to make the thieves confused with hidden nothings everywhere.

That, or have a money bin that they'd need an excavator and a tip truck to empty. ;)

Its probably been done of course... as well as a scale model https://www.flickr.com/photos/matsgull/sets/72157602185120037/ and a Lego version http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2015/06/fan-creates-detailed-lego-replica-of-uncle-scrooges-money-bin/ :)

Heh, yeah... waste not, want not, right? :angel:
I am still trying to work out what you would use the eraser dust for.

Making new erasers? Tyres are made with a good portion of recycled rubber buffings, so why not erasers too?
Quote from: 'Fulvio' pid='81263' dateline='1446484759'.... recycled rubbers .....
Eeeek!! Reminds me of Kel's joke. :angel:

And I thought that thread was about finding lost/stolen coin.
Back on track as I don't have it nor has anyone offered the coin to me.

Reminds ME of my very first trip transporting rubber buffings across town from the retreaders in Dandenong to Dunlop in Footscray in peak hour.
Four big wheelie bins on a tray, tied down with ropes cos nobody showed me where the chains were hidden. By the time I arrived, the ropes had stretched so much one bin was hanging half off the side of the truck! Exciting trip, that one... fortunately never repeated after I found the chains. :dodgy:

It is. We're just keeping it alive so it doesn't get buried. :angel:
