Problem is the brass plaque can be removed or the stand discarded all together and the model sold as is cheaply. I doubt it will have left the country, so as I said will check ebay uk just in case. I do agree with TT that the model has probably found its way into a second hand shop or the like for a few Euros. If nothing else was taken from the office then I presume it was either, stolen to order-bizzare thing to just pinch though or, it is a spur-of-the-moment theft, thinking that due to the size and detail of the boat it is worth a lot of money. Not a nice thing to happen at all and do hope it is returned to the rightful owner-undamaged.
