A serendipitous turn of events

My friend and I live in the Seattle area, and have been card-collecting buddies since the 80's. Today, when he came home from work, he discovered that he had been robbed. It seems clear that the thief knew what he was after, because he took only one box - the one with the oldest and most valuable cards. He left my friend's sets, and other items of value. He didn't even take the brand new iMac computer, sitting in plain view.

My friend lost 209 cards. I don't know if it is conceivable that he will ever get them back, but it seems like it can't hurt to alert this forum. I have an inventory of his lost cards on an Excel spreadsheet. Is it possible to post it somehow? Or, I could send it to anyone who is interested.

My friend is heartbroken. And I'm sure we all hurt a little bit for him. Suggestions are welcome.
