STOLEN DOLLS
STOLEN DOLLS
2008
The dolls included our own SD13 Irvin, SD16 Black Swan Ruby, two MSD fairies (boy and girl) and SD13 boy and two lovely ladies from The Maiden’s Promises. It is still shocking to me that someone could take so many heavy, large dolls in one swoop.
There have been many tips, suggestions and suppositions made regarding staff and security at the venue and we are working with the police and FIT to do whatever is possible in this case.
Please be vigilant if you are on eBay or Yahoo Japan, in case an unscrupulous seller attempts to make a profit from these dolls. Mr. Shigeta has stated that Volks would just like them back, no questions asked and the proceeds of any sales would go to the Make A Wish Foundation, a generous and kind gesture that would take the stigma away from these lovely dolls.
If you come upon any information regarding these dolls, please email Volks at agency@volks.co.jp, or email me here so that we can investigate further. Maybe someday we will see these dolls again safe in the homes of friends and fellow collectors.

Well, sadly I have stopped the coverage because of the theft of seven dolls from the event. Some time between 8:30pm Saturday and 8am Sunday, seven dolls were removed from the Volks display at the Reeves Great Hall at FIT.
