The owner or police also often offer a reward for information leading to recovery or arrest, and believe me this helps in these hard times. A mere $1000. reward offer was responsible for the recovery of a valuable Spanish bronze cannon worth perhaps 20 times that, stolen in Detroit, MI area recently, from a friend of mine. The cannon was recovered undamaged after being missing for only a few weeks, with no damage

Hi Cannon.
I know details of the theft itself and owner are sparse, but at least the list of stolen items is reasonably detailed.
As these swords serial numbers are recorded there should be a good chance that they will be noticed when the thief tries to sell them.
The number given is for:
The Hammersmith and Fulham Burglary Squad based at Hammersmith Police Station. Office. 02082462655
