Stolen Discs

[DzM]

This is on the front page too, but I want to make certain that everyone sees this as quickly as possible:

Philip Chevron has had numerous Gold and Silver discs (awarded by the music industry for passing a specified number of sales of a record) stolen from his home in Nottingham. They are instantly identifiable as they are specifically awarded to Philip by name, and are not just generic Pogues Gold/Silver awards. Among the items are a silver disc for the 7" single of "Fairytale Of New York", several UK and international awards for the first 6 Pogues albums. Later awards are Gold CDs but the majority of the stolen discs are 12" vinyl LPs. Philip is seeking the help of all Pogues fans and asks you to keep alert to anybody trying to sell, trade or dispose of these discs in any way.

Phil says: "These discs are of no possible value to anybody but myself, their intrinsic value is negligible as these discs are not made from real gold or silver. They have no conceivable sell-on value to anyone else except as Pogues memorabilia, but I feel sure that most Pogues fans would rather I had them back. I'd be grateful for any information or leads. They're silly little trophies in many ways but, what the hell, I worked hard for them ."

The police at West Bridgford in Nottingham are aware of the matter and the officers dealing with the case are PC Denniss (Badge number 2630) and PC Rob Archer (Badge number 3180). Nottinghamshire police are on 0115 9455999, extension 6162 or, if you prefer, contact Phil via this site.

Jaysus! This is shite news. Hang those bastards!

[Noel Kenny]

I'm very sorry to hear that Philip. I hope they are all recovered intact. Any "fan" that would buy them should be shot with their own shite.

[RoddyRuddy]

Sorry to hear this news . Hope they did not cause too much damage and that you get them back .

[fluke]

It's must be terrible to know someone came in your house. I hope this way the bastards who did it will be found very soon!!

[MissWalshy]

I'm so sorry Philip.

You know that anyone who follows this website and I imagine Ingrids site will keep their eye out. Again, I'm so sorry.

[soulfinger]

That's bloody terrible. I hope they turn up soon.

How awful. It is such a violation to think of someone going through one's private collections, and those discs can really be valuable only to yourself or some demented Pogues "fan" (none on this forum, I should think). Very sorry to hear. I'd like to think we can put our trust in the police on this one, and that you will have them back soon.

The local police have been, in every respect, just brilliant.

Mr C, really sorry to hear about this. Hope you yourself are ok, and that the issue is resolved as soon as possible.

Philip, I echo the words of everyone here, what a bunch of utter scumbags.

I will keep an eye on Ebay for you (and anywhere else I can think of), I am frequently there looking out not only for rare Pogues memorabilia and other stuff that is of interest to me, if I come across anything I will let you know.

Sorry to hear this Philip. Hopefully the news will spread through the Pogues world and you get them back intact.
