We just got back to our house to find we have been broken into, cleaned out of almost everything and the place trashed, despite some serious security. One of the things that they left behind was our astronomical telescope but they took the lenses and the computer controller called a Vixen Star Book, about the size of an iPad with a screen and control buttons. These are unusual items and they will probably bin them when they realise what they are but if anyone sees them for sale anywhere would you let me know and I can contact the police. Thanks.
