Hi everyone,

I appreciate the support the entire community has been helping me and its unfortunate that despite everyone's efforts there has been no indication of my suitcase ever showing up.

This GoFundMe exists to help me repay money that was entrusted to me and lost as a result of a stolen suitcase. While I am trying to recover my own personal losses, I have also been left with a significant debt that I am struggling to manage. I am under ongoing pressure to repay these funds, and this page is a way for me to do so responsibly, transparently, and as quickly as possible. Any support will go directly toward settling what I owe and reducing the financial burden caused by this situation.

On 15/12/2025, while travelling back home from Bandai Card Fest on a FlixBus from Düsseldorf through the Netherlands to Eindhoven, my suitcase was stolen. Inside was my entire One Piece TCG inventory, including cards that belonged to other people who had already paid me or trusted me to hold items on their behalf.

This inventory wasn’t just cards it was my entire livelihood. I was preparing to open a small shop in London in January, and almost everything I had built toward that was in this suitcase.

I immediately:

Despite all efforts, the suitcase has not been recovered.

Why I’m Asking for Help

My main concern is not myself it’s the people who trusted me.

The following cards and items must be refunded:

These represent existing obligations, not speculative losses.

How the Funds Will Be Used

All funds raised will be used only for:

I will provide updates as refunds are made.

What Happens If the Suitcase Is Recovered

I want to be completely transparent.

If the suitcase is recovered after this GoFundMe has concluded and everyone has been refunded:

The Serial Monkey D. Luffy (ST01) will be auctioned, with 100% of proceeds donated to charity

The remaining prize cards listed above will be randomly given away to people who donated, as a thank-you for helping me make things right

This is not an incentive to donate, and donations are not purchases or entries

My priority will always be:

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or offering advice is just as meaningful.

Thank you for reading, for supporting, and for helping me take responsibility for something that changed my life.
