I've been the victim of a theft, and would like the IBNS community to be aware and on the lookout for a couple notes.
Two French banknotes:


were purchased by me from the Compagnie Generale de Bourse (CGB, Paris France) Papier Monnaie 14 auction of June 25, 2009 as auction lots 47 and 247.
For a variety of reasons, they were not shipped to me until August 7th.
Upon delivery to me on August 20, 2009, I found the package empty. I will be pursuing this through the postal services, of course.
These notes are quite rare, both are in UNC condition. If you come across these notes through a dealer, auction, eBay, or other source, I would certainly appreciate contact through www.FrenchBanknotes.com
