You are failing to use Hanlon’s Razor. Never attribute malice to that which can be explained by laziness or stupidity.
The model got loaned out to a movie production. It got stored and forgotten about. No one stole it, they just failed to return it because they were busy making a movie.

Not one for reading the article eh?

It was stolen, the locker likely had a name associated at some point, that’s a Clue the rest is up to investigation.
So yes I read it but I can also do math and understand grand theft investigations given it’s value is likely tens of thousands.

It doesn’t sound like anyone nor Rod Roddenberry is wanting an investigation though. They just want the model.
Aren’t these things so old that the would be thief is likely dead anyway? Hence the dilapidated locker?

Again - from the article - it went missing after being leant to the original motion picture production.
Quite a few people who were around in 1979 are still hanging on today :)

If they want it or not fans will do it anyway, it’s in their best interest to get the police involved so fans meddling are committing obstruction.
Maybe? We don’t know that’s the point of investigation. Dude stole history and should be punished for it, why are you implying a theft over time is absolved?
