...Next call every near by stamp, coin and pawn shop to give a description. Nearby means the closest ones to you regardless of distance away if you are located in a non-densely populated area.

Then call your local police and make a report...


You call the police first and ask if you can begin contacting third parties. Pawn shops cannot give you any info and have to hold the material for 30 days before doing anything. Thye crtainly do not want to buy stolen material but they also do not know if your call is legitimate or not (i.e. estranged spouse getting 'even'). Pawn shops and police use a database to track stolen items, once a police report is in the database pawn shops will treat it as legitimate.

...Now while the US White House has been blaming the pandemic on crime and the comments above are a rather good joke, I think such should come after providing real direction and an answer to your question. For that, I will apologize on behalf of SCF members...


We do not need you to apologize for others. The original poster has not stated he had anything stolen. Additionally, I gave direction, "the standard steps would be; call the law, call the insurance agent, and pour a large single malt Scotch.'

Edit: This thread is another example is 'not having any details' yet asking for feedback and folks offer opinions in the absence of context and details.
Was it a single stamp/cover, an album, or an entire collection?
Was it stolen from a house or stolen at a show or club meeting?
What country did it happen in (note: the original poster is NOT from US)?

When posting it greatly helps to provide as much information as possible so the replies can be more accurate.

I read the title "IF you have ..." to mean this is a theoretical question and NOT any real incident.
