Last week my telescopes, mounts and eyepieces were stolen. They were mainly high end refractors of which one or two may well be unique in Australia. Also a Takahashi Teegul 150 which I think would be one of one.

Eyepieces included Masuyamas, Pentax Orthos, a pair of Takahashi MC Zoom 719s and plenty of other rare eyepieces. A Meade UWA 14mm with the skirt ground off to obtain back focus which I think would be unique.

I don't hold much hope ever getting anything back but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice as to if there are any classifieds sites I should be monitoring. I know ebay, gumtree and cash converters are the places of choice for petty thieves but wonder if anyone knows where people may try to offload high end Takahashi refractors - for example an FC125.
Would help if you told us where you are so we can look out for items being put up for sale
