Okay, dollblr, I need your help
My friend's doll collection was stolen on May 19th by his shitty landlord. Charges have been filed, but the landlord and the moving company he used to transport the dolls and other stolen property have been uncooperative in giving the information needed to trace and recover the dolls.
I'm asking that this post be shared as far and wide as possible so he has some hope of getting his most beloved and distinctive dolls back.
If anyone sees a massive dump of Ringdolls and Dollfie Dreams on Mercari, eBay, or Facebook, especially in/around/from the Louisville, KY area, please contact me so I can let him know.
I will update as we assess the full extent of the loss, but the dolls we're asking people to keep an eye out for at the moment are
Ringdoll K fullset edition with attached hair, NS. No outfit. Distinctive features: One magnet fell out and was put back in back upside down, so his headcap doesn't stay closed.
DIM Minimee Ruki head, NS. Distinctive features: Vampire mod.
Custom House Mina (both Saint Mina and LE Sad Mina), NS
Ringdoll Quiz, GS, fullset
Bobobie Pixie. Distinctive features: sky blue skin that yellowed to a minty color. Probably wearing green pajamas with brown airplanes made by me.
ResinSoul Yao, WS. His first doll, probably yellowed a fair bit by now. Distinctive features: a small chip on one of her horns.
DIM Minimee heads of all Gazette and Dir En Grey members. If these turn up as a lot, contact us, it's probably them.
Soom Dain
Soom Dawn
2 60cm Sweetdolls, NS
HZ WangYe head
This ResinSoul Dai and 1st gen Bobobie Apollo, probably still in these outfits
Any dolls that appear in a large group with these should be reported.
I will update tomorrow with more specifics on the missing Ringdolls and DD/DD mods when we've had a chance to sit down and assess the extent of the theft.

Thank y'all in advance for any help, he's gutted over this and I am on his behalf. Still in shock that there are people this vile in the world.
UPDATE
We've spent the day talking to estate brokers, and so far nobody has unloaded any major collections. They've been given photos and told to call if someone tries to unload it.
Louisville police are refusing to file charges (literally, just said "yeah okay" and then never did it) and are just playing hot potato with them. Station A says they don't file grand theft charges, go see Station B. Station B says they don't file grand theft charges, go see Station A. Oh wait here's a number to call... except it's just the Crimestoppers tip line. Crimestoppers isn't part of law enforcement, they can't file shit.
Next to Chicago, Louisville KY is the worst place in the country to be a victim of a crime if you want justice.
They're trying to get a lawyer, but for the collection to ever be recovered, even the feds have said they need to hire a private investigator to get enough evidence for an indictment since the sheriff and metro PD are part of the crime.
He's trying to sell what little he had in storage to finance it, but the market can be finicky, and the sooner we can move on this, the better.
We're asking folks to donate to their legal/investigative fight, since it's looking like we'll have to take the long way around to get anywhere on this. Even if you can't donate, please share. Every little bit helps.
