Hello all!
My first post, and I need advice.
Long story, but the gist is I had some cards left at someone's home whom i didn't speak with for over a year. There was an incident where someone I know took my cards from their home and went to a store and sold the cards. The cards were in 4 deck boxes (obviously a personal collection of usable decks - sleeved and everything). The thieves came back to the home where they were originally located and the people threatened them to give the cards back (for my benefit). They gave most of the cards back.
What they had done was took the 4 deck boxes to the shop, the shop buyer went through my 4 deck boxes, took out all the valuable cards from the sleeves, then put the sleeves back in the deck boxes with all the other cheaper cards. so when my friends received the 4 deck boxes back, and not being savvy on magic personally, thought they received everything no problem.
Now that I have the deck boxes back, I noticed the 44 empty sleeves between the 4 deck boxes and realized what happened. I remember 43/44 cards that were missing (totaling in current value of $460)
SO... I know they sold them at 1 of either 2 stores (big name stores that I'm not sure if I should name here in the forums) and the date at which they sold them to the store... Is there a way to track this transaction in the stores? The date was 2/18/2017 - would the stores have logs going back that far? I plan on contacting them to find out, and I plan on filing a police report for the stolen items. I even put the empty sleeves in a ziploc baggie out of paranoia thinking they can be finger-printed (:P).
Does anyone have advice on this situation?
