| That sucks! Those goods are probably going to pop up on fleabay or craigslist if not at shows. Wonder if there are any serial #s associated with them to help catch the yahoos that did it.

 I hope they're able to catch these crooks, soon, that's for sure. Crazy this happened. What trains were robbed? Then I could try to track those things down. Those jerks.

Apparently MTH and Lionel on a open shelf were stolen.

I contacted Bowser/English's about us helping to look for the goods. I received a reply from Lee that he did not want to release any type of a list containing the stolen goods until the police approved such a plan.
I will update this thread if I hear anything from them.

You know, given what new trains sell for nowadays, I've always been a little bit surprised that I'd never once heard about a model train robbery like this. I guess the inevitable finally occurred. Here's hoping the goods are recovered, and the thieves brought to justice.

Found this news story about Bowser on Broadway Limited Facebook page. It shows how the thieves got in.
