Dude , you 3 comments are so insightful,,,, and relevant to the post!  I guess you really are a specialist.  Probably you stole the Minis, which would explain your infinite knowledge of the perp and of the methods .  To quote a familiar Mini board comment,  "Are you stupic or stoned?"

...or they must be targeting the mini collection and accidentally took the other things because they clean the place all out. (That's my Assesment as a Psychologist) because  i can see beyond what is beyond. 
I dont want to say things as if i know everything like "others" do because in the world of criminality, the more you know about the crime the bigger the chance that you are the suspect.

let me ask, does the suspect live in Florida USA? And a member since 2004??  Oooops Hmmm Hopefully not. Aaanyway!

Didn't you read the post at all??   " There is little chance the thieves targeted the collection as they cleared out most of the space"

Requesting help for a friend whose storage was broken into on or about 6/26/17 in the south Orange county Ca. area and a large collection of mini models taken.  The 45 year collection was packed into boxes and had over 550 items with the majority being 60's and 70's vintage pieces like dinky and corgy.

There is little chance the thieves targeted the collection as they cleared out most of the space, but if you find a swap meet, garage sale, craigslist ad or hear of "a guy" with lots of mini collectibles get info to identify the seller/vehicle/address to provide tip to the police. 

Will pass along any info to friend, E-mail in profile.
