Many of these are pretty common meaning that it will be hard to tell that they are yours.

But I think some of these can be reported to you with hope that you'll find you stole your gear.

Belive it or not homeowners insurance might cover items stolen from your vehicle. If you can't find the crook, you might at least recoup some of your losses. Bummer man. :(

Steaphen, I'm so sorry to hear this news :( Definitely check with your homeowners or auto insurance, but if you have pictures of some of the more unique items that you could post online, it would help everyone be on the lookout.

I agree with you, Eric. I'm also sorry to hear the news on the theft of Steaphen's sword bag. It's quite saddening.

Do you have any pictures of any of the swords, or pictures of you holding any of them? Do any of them have distinguishing marks either on the hilt or blade? an oil stain on the leather grip or anything like that? Distinguishing marks might help us notice if we happen across them anywhere.

I am so sorry for your loss! :cry:

Have you tried checking Ebay? :\

I completely agree with the home owners insurance suggestion. Several years ago - just three days before I got married- my wife was flying into town with my wedding band, and she accidentally left it in the women's bathroom (after washing her hands) at the airport. It promptly got stolen. HER FATHER'S homeowner's insurance paid for the ring - minus the $500 co-pay.

So it would be worth the phone call at least to either yours or possibly even your parent's homeowners insurance company. Good luck and I hope you find your swords!
