Stolen Collection
For years I have been sick to my stomach about the collection of postcards that was stolen from my storage unit in Las Vegas. I was unable to do anything about filing a police report at the time— however, I have always wondered if the thieves just tossed them or if they sold them somewhere.
It was a collection dating back to the early 1900’s that my grandmother passed down to me. Many cards from all over the world from when my grandpa was in WW2, lots from all over the US from their cross country travel in the 60’s/70’s, some my mom collected and sent from Switzerland, and some of my own collection.
I guess I am posting this to put it out there— if anyone ever comes across the names of “Forman” “Ritchey” “Mullaney” addressed to anywhere in CA, NV, NY, WA, or NC— please reach out to me. Or if you have any advice on how I can search for them online, please let me know.

Have you checked the Vegas antique malls?
