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 :)

Bingo. Someone probably just didn’t pay their bill, it’s way more common than you’d think.

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?

The studio is the owner right or the producers? I mean who really paid for the model is the owner. Not sure if that’s the Roddenberry’s or some other person from back in the day. I didn’t realize there was a great search for the original small scale model.
Cool that it might be found.

I’m serious when I ask this. Can you point me to a source saying it was stolen? I can’t find one.

The Roddenberry’s what now?
