Dec 11Someone out there is missing a couple of decorative Star Trek wall plates, thanks to heartless burglars. Anyone recognize the property?
(Although if they’re Voyager plates or some shit, I’d probably shatter them before I’d give them back.)
STAR Trek memorabilia are among items recovered by police from a property in Malvern during an investigation.
Although they were found in Malvern, a police spokesman said the items could have been the proceeds of burglaries anywhare in the area.
“We have no indication at all as to where they originate from, but we very much hope that there is someone out there who will recognise some, if not all, of the items, whether belonging to themselves or someone they know,” said the spokesman.
advertisementThe items are set of four small tea-cups and saucers, a brown leather wallet, a small fob watch, a key-ring bearing the name Neil, a 1962 penny on a chain and the two Star Trek commemorative wall-plates.
Anyone who believes they recognise any of the items is asked to call police on 08457 444888, and ask for DC Gareth Llewellyn on extension 60813. Information can also be given – anonymously – to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
It’s funny how often crappy burglars target nerd items, with the mistaken understanding that they are worth big money.
I’ve seen break-ins at a comic shop I worked and, as well as second hand at the store I frequent now, and both times, the burglars took all the Spawn comics. They might as well steal the pens off the counter – Spawn is always big bucks on paper… and you’ll never get more than a third of that from a shop owner. Plus, local shop owners always keep in touch, so it’s pretty easy to say “someone stole these comics – keep an eye out.”
Evil doers – stick to banks. It pays better.
