Thread: Help please: burglary leads

Ok, some already know about our apartment burglary... But to bring you up to speed, we lost everything, we now know who did it (long story, but the detective found out 100%), and we are just trying to pin down solid evidence that will nail the guy because it looks like he already moved most of our stuff out of his posession. Even when my stuff shows up at the pawn shop we have to prove it's mine, and not just similar...As it turns out, my regular rotation was in fact taken.. I still have a razor though so it's going to be ok

Anyway, if anyone could take a look at a link describing my rotation razors and help me give the detective info saying how difficult it would be to se identical razors, or how you can spot custom work I would appreciate it. I am looking for all comments because u don't want to overlook anything that could help.A few new adds to the rotation! - Straight Razor Place Forums

The detective is most interested in any distinguishing characteristics, proof of custom work, approximate dollar value estimates (charges change depending on dollar ammounts in the burglary) and anything you can think of that could help.


thanks

Dave

I hate this(stealing) and hope, pray you will get everything back.i really don't know how i will act if something like this will happen to me.
I will do my best and i am pretty sure SRP WILL GET TOGETHER to help you out.
I (unfortunately cannot get home soon) will send to you 1 nice straight razor. i don't know which one or what name will be if you let me know what type blade you like or brand i will do my best. I am sure i can ship to you on Thursday. Please let me know your mailing address.
Take care

Dave, That sucks man ! I think about that stuff all the time. I have a large gun safe, with no room in it for all my Str8 stuff. I've been thinking about gettng a larger safe.
What did they get besides razors, did they get any hones, strops, stuff like that?
What items besides str8 stuff did they get....

Did you have renter's insurance....I also believe this is a sign of the times, due to unemployment.
Anyway, Would the picture you have help, I would think their can't be too many of those type razors around.

For those who didn't see my other post, he stole everything, including furniture and baby clothes... Again, we are ok and have family nearby that is helping us out... We now know who did it and apparently the detective is just putting a case together to nail the guy. Thanks for the support.

Copy this picture (picture all your blades)and give to detectives it should help. include text name of the blade date when that post has been post important too. hope this helps.

Yes, and do you have the original picture electronically somewhere? A higher resolution couldn't hurt. You have a timestamp on your post as well, so that's a bit of evidence that the blades were in your possession.

That really sucks, though. Best of luck to you guys and hope that bastard pays dearly.

Because all of the razors you have pictured have been out of production for quite some time the chances of getting a set like that together in one place is not easy and would take a long time. The chances of getting the identical set together with the pitting, stains, scales material makes it more unlikely. Adding the hone wear that is clearly visible along with the pitting, stains, scales and makes that match your photo would make it impossible to match. The pitting, staining and hone wear matched to the make of blade and scales would make each razor as unique as a used tire thread or a finger print. Put them together in one grouping and it is probably as unique as DNA.

Can't help you on the actual value of the items. You can't go by what you paid for them. There are books that would help you appraise the value. If I remember when I get home CarrieM or I will give you the title of the book we use. It doesn't list each and every razor ever made and the appraised value is subject to interpertation.

Good luck.

That's terrible!

I know how it feels, I had two dirtbikes I paid for on a 12-14 year olds salary stolen twice in a row! We found the second guy and got him on GTA and twice the bikes value.


Good luck!

Very kind of you Sham, thank you sincerely, but I am ok I still have a razor or two, and a few resto projects so I don't need you to send me a razor. Still thank you so much for the gesture, many SRP members have offered anything from razors, to sets, to cash... Thank you everyone. We are ok, and have lots of support.

It sounds like the detective is very interested in the razor collection lead, and I may get them back if he pawned them and I can give solid evidence that nobody would have razors just like these. That being said, take a look at the link and anything you can think of to say why these are unique, hard to find, custom etc. Would probably help. I have given him lots of info, but I don't want to leave anything out. Thanks again

wow the cops are actually looking for your stuff. That is pretty rare!
