It was not the value, but the sentiment! He was angry and hurt at the same time. These tools went back to the 30's, 40's and 50's.with a few newer items his father bought prior to his death. The next morning, we go in the garage and hubby wanted a tool.his tool box was GONE!!! And some of his power tools as well, that I just bought him that past Christmas (barely used!), which were all in the garage the day before, as he was trying out his new jigsaw! This tool box was his fathers (who died in a construction accident in 1972 when hubby was 16). These guys were all over my house, putting boxes everywhere (where we requested). We had some movers bring my mother's stuff up here from Florida a few years back when my dad passed. Alarm systems in our homes are not as effective as some may think, helpful and gives you a sense of security, but if a thief wants what you have, they will, without a doubt, take what they feel they need more than you no matter how secure you think your home is. Safe deposits boxes are no safer than the ones in our homes. We are no safer from child molesters eyeing our children romping in the beach waters (and following us home unknown to us) as we are letting them play in their own back/front yards. Secondly, we are not safe from anything, no matter how private and secretative we think we are.
I do hope the police are able to catch who did it and are able to recover, if not all, but a good portion of your items.
PS: Forgot to add.I have a bunch of these tokens, from various years.but nothing I found to be of real value.oh well, maybe someday in the future.I'll hoard them in my china cabinet till thenįirst let me say, I am very, very sorry for your loss and for the invasion of your only private safe place. I have now shared my opinion.now go look at the topic for OUTER BANKS ARCHAEOLOGY DIGS.I posted lots of pics of items that were dug on my hubby's property, that on display at the Museum of History in Raleigh, NC (Sept 2007-Feb 2008). That is one reason I joined this forum.to share.my thoughts, my opinions, my photos of my amazing blue pull tabs and the awesome amount of bobby pins I have dug up from the beach.not to forget to mention, all those wonderful bottle tops from BEER BOTTLES found on the beach, where NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED.go figure! Anyways. I haven't found half of the wonderful items others on this forum have found, but I so enjoy reading their stories and looking at their photos of those wonderful items they dug up and I also learn.I learn about history.just like I dig for people (genealogy).putting these items to the people I amazing!!! Maybe I get so excited, I love to share with others.
