  Even though the future fate of the model is uncertain, the username for the account and its other listings suggest that it specializes in selling artifacts found in storage lockers that end up without an owner, either due to failure to pay, abandonment, or death, perhaps giving a hint as to how the model was found.

      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.

    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.

      No. That something you can use not something you have to use especially as the value both historic and monetary goes up.

      If it were a painting we wouldn’t be having this hedging conversation.

    So, the statute of limitations on stolen property is one year in California, so probably not possible.

      One year from Discovery. So one year from October 31 2023 iirc.
