I still have my first Rivarossi train set (Xmas 1956):Little Joe Saddle Tank, Gondola and Bobber Caboose, damaged and without box and track, because I played with it many times. Of couse I have more valuable locos but if I lost this would leave me more upset. A consideration is thet there are modellers so greedy and egoist to commission burglaries. Even the case of the Maerklin Museum robbery lead police to people in the Venice region so wealthy to afford commissioning such a crime. Lately here in Rome a private collector alone suffered a loss comparable to the first in the thread. Fortunately you friends that read me, I know that as you are willing to share the hobby in the Forum, you and me are entirely different from these despeakable persons. Good bye from Dario
