Stealing from stores.. the worst is the person is a collector/fan like us.. the fact those people exist in this collecting community. I guess it's the old "Accept the bad with the good" thing.
It's a shame your missing those pieces to your set, I'd think stores now have alot of CCTV and stealing from bigstores like that isn't possible anymore.
I remember back in the 80s I bought Action Force International Heroes Falcon. We were heading out of the TRU and I told my mum that his backpack and knife wasn't in the bubble and it had been opened. So we went to customer services and they got me a replacement figure. All brand new to open myself.
The weirdest thing is the figure had a deformation in the plastic of the left arm, there was a brown/black scar mark. The weirdest thing is I never bothered about this as it actually looked cool as a battle wound for my cool new green beret, at the time falcon would use this as his introductory story when meeting up with his new team mates
