Can I just start by saying a massive THANK YOU to each and every one of you. The steemsilvergold community has sprung in to action in my time of need. I am deeply touched by all the messages and support.
I suppose I better explain for those not involved; No one has died, it's just I had a package of silver stolen and to make it worse, it was the steemsilverround that I designed. Sorted.
Now this is where as a community you can help me even further. The very generous @mattclarke has offered 100 STEEM to anyone that can provide me with information to the return of my rounds.
As a few members have suggested we need to keep an eye out for the numbers @sevinwilson sent me. I'm guessing the thief would try online auction sites (ebay) to shift and maximise his profits. I'll be heading around to local jewellery shops and "cash for gold" stores to report the numbers.
Can we all keep an eye out for the following numbers please:
93, 97, 192, 193, 194, 195, 251, 409, 410
These are all 2018 rounds with my design on them, NOT THE 2017 DESIGNS.
As I said the very generous @mattclarke has left his offer open permanently, so in 1yr, 2yrs or 5yrs, if they show up please let me know.
Thanks again guys and gals
Yo Welshie, you about 15 spots in my raffle donated by caring ssg’ers — so fingers crossed it’s the Welsh-man for the win!
Will draw tomorrow night!
😎👍👍😘
Wish me luck big D... I definitely need some.
How about 4 more spots? 2 from @bearone and 2 from @thealliance?
🍆🕺
It's like that time I was in the church choir as a boy..... I feel touched by you all!! 😂🍆🍆😂
27/94 — you’re the BIG EGGPLANT in this raffle! Better’n 1 in 4 odds!
👊😎
With the luck I'm having lately I could have 93/94 and I'd still come out second. 😭
Well, we’ll see about that...Pray for a high roll and become a high-roller!
😎👍🍆
And HEAR HEAR!!! for @mattclarke!
Hope the douchebag is caught. But my guess is they will be melted. Which is a total shame. Sorry brother. Hope one of my numbers that I bought you comes out in Damus raffle.👍
Thanks for the support fella. Like you I have a bad feeling they will be smashed and scrapped.
Look for ads on Ebay that do not have round numbers specified also, and then ask the vendor what numbers are available. It is likely whoever did this will not list the number directly on the ad. Also use an Ebay account that is not attached to you to ask the question to reserve anonymity. You are getting some replacement rounds sent your way regardless of what happens. I have seen many SSG members say so. Blessings, and I hope we catch these f**kers. If you do not mind me asking, why didn't they require a signature for your silver package when they delivered it?
I will be keeping my eyes open for them online.
I think for you to check local shops is be a good idea.
Cheers @goldkey. In my area we have no pawn shops or LCS, we have a small jewellery shop that pays cash for scrap gold/silver and that's the only place I can think of
As I usually go to Ebay everyday, I will keep my eyes open. I have already written the numbers and I put the piece of paper in front of my computer.
I hope we are able to find these and get them returned to you @welshstacker. My eyes will be peeled!
Cheers KS. I'm sure with all these eyes about something will turn up
I hope these rounds turn up!! This breaks my heart and now has me angry!!
Welcome to my world.....
We are getting closer to a resolution though! Maybe not the one we wanted but one nonetheless
Well unless the scumbag turns up with my package, a hand written apology (written in his/her own blood) and a shit load of beer then things will never be cool between me and parcel force. But what's the chances of that??
Slim to none and slim left town!
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
I'll keep my eyes open for them too, @welshstacker, doesn't seem right the designer doesn't have the final product. Maybe they'll show up on ebay or online somewhere. @ironshield
Thank you @ironshield. If the thief is dull enough to use ebay, then we will be waiting.
I hope they get caught and ill keep an eye out for those numbers being sold. I was thinking you posted here on steemit that you had paid the import duty/vat and was expecting it to be delivered on a certain day. Have you sold any coins to anyone that might know your address (return address on parcel) and could of seen that steemit post and live close enough to go to your home and wait for the parcel to arrive? For the signature to be a M means it wasn't a random stranger, it was either the postman that knew your name or someone else that knew to sign M.
My full details would have been on the box, think this is just an opportunist theft.
I will be on the lookout @blackrussian
Thank you
Matt Clark is a hell of a guy! I will scower the internet for your numbers bro.
Cheers hippie. It may take a while but I'm sure they will turn up in a few years
What is the latest from the post office? If the package doesn’t show up is there insurance on it to cover the loss of both the metal and of the import duty you paid?
Parcelforce.com have washed thier hands of it now. Sevinwilson had had to put a claim in his end and I've made a separate claim my end for the additional costs. Hopefully I should know in 7 - 10 days.
<3 warms my heart @mattclarke
❤️
This is great idea.
Well done Matt. I keep an eye on eBay for sure,
Cheers mate. The more eyes we have out there the better
Welshy. Hope you dont mind, I borrowed the last coin pic you posted for my facebook post. Gonna alert facey about the coins and numbers. Hope people share it.
🤗
Not at all. The more exposure there is the more likely we are to finding them. Thanks for the help
Thanks mate. I've updated the original post to include those numbers.
Cheers @mattclarke that is an incredible offer. I'd never want to see anyone out of pocket, but this is the one time I'd like you to spend 100 steem.
The courier service my end has been a total pain in the arse. They have washed their hands of me and said that it's up to @sevinwilson to put a claim in with the USPD his end. I have tried to make a claim for loss of extra expenses I.E. the import fees I paid to parcel force (including their over the top handling charges) so just waiting to hear back from them.
I wouldn't really be out of pocket.
Clever big hitters understand that a currency is only useful because a lot of people have and use it.
If an observant minnow does some digging and gets himself a pay day, I've just spread it around into some worthy hands, boosting the value of the whole ecosystem.
If Ned and Dan each had half the world's steem it wouldn't be worth squat.
(Same reason I run the Path of Exile competition)
I'd be very glad to pay up, mate :)
