Part of large scale theft in Bundoora, Australia.
Summary of stolen items:
No Australian or Australian colonial stamps were stolen but some postal history was.
Most items between the letters A-G have been stolen. Albania to Greenland. There were thousands of items on cut down Hagner pages, mostly with rectangular yellow or white price tickets from $100 to over $10,000.
Likewise similar British Commonwealth stock from Aden to Great Britain has been stolen plus Malta.
Two blue Seven Seas albums containing virtually complete mint Fiji from Fiji Times up to 1969, New Guinea and Papua including comprehensive GRIs, extensive errors, double prints, inverted over prints, sideways overprints, rare perfs and papers and errors of colour. Many had certificates or invoices from Stanley Gibbons London. All the stamps were priced lightly in pencil with several. items from $10,000 to $40,000 eg different 5/- GRIs, complete NWPI, GERMAN NEW GUINEA, Dutch New Guinea including inverted UNTEA overprint, Papua inverted aeroplane, most of the deformed 4d Lakatois, and some variety blocks.
They randomly stole a selection of De La Rue archival material we purchased in Spink many years ago. It is part sheets of sets in large brown envelopes from countries A-B such as Abu Dhabi, Algeria, and Bangladesh. Some of these envelopes have been recovered in yet another stolen car but there are many more still missing. They are not worth a lot, but they are unusual and very identifiable.
