BRENDA BERG Westcourt I got a painting framed, years later realised it was worth $250,000 but found it was swapped for a cardboard copy.

SHANE RODGERS Holloways Beach Half my workshop in the 1980s. They got caught because they borrowed a customer’s car and we followed the oil leak.

MICHELLE ROBERTS Bayview Heights My dog was stolen a while back. A ridgebackcross puppy named Prince. I never got him back either.

DAVID MCCONNON Cairns North We had a $1100 mower stolen from our depot about a month ago, and my wife’s wallet with $300 got taken once.
