The break-in seems to have been professional work, and it looks like the only thing they stole, apart from the CCTV tape, was the Violette Summer items. A few PCs got smashed up but nothing else was actually taken. We’re in the process of putting together an inventory of the missing items. If you’re a collector, or you have any interest in Violette Summer and you hear or see anything about any of these items coming onto the market, please let us know immediately.
This is a really sad day. We had borrowed the items from a private collector, and they’d only been in the studio for a few days. In other words we hadn’t have time to do the 3D scans we needed to put them in the game. Okay, I’m a Violette history buff and I was really excited to be able to actually touch these items. And I have to wonder if the thief or their client knew the items were here because I’d mentioned them on this blog.
We’re picking ourselves up and dusting ourselves off. Nobody got hurt. Just history.

Hey Victor,
Im sorry to hear about the recent breakin. It is a good thing that this will not halt the progression of the game, however I am still uneasy about hearing of the theft of the antiques. I know that my team woulkd love to assist in catching these theives, by any chance could you give us the name of the collector that you borrowed the antiques from (maybe on the forum or by PM) so we can try and make contact with him.

Hey Darren, that would be a bad move, especially as some of the stuff is now stolen. I promise to keep you informed on developments. If we find them, I am sure the collector may be open to less anonymity.
