That is good news! [:)]

allan01 You're right. The "receiver" may very well not have known that they were stolen as older Marklin tinplate does tend to show up lately in large collections....like those from an estate. I have no sympathy for the thieves.

My information is that the kindly soul who was to allegedly receive the goods has also been caught. BUT, I accept that one is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law...

More to the point, the missing goods have been recovered...
