When thematerial is located, as it often is, the thief is apprehendedand the material returned to its rightful owner — all with-out cost to anyone. The ASDA is as quick to act uponthe complaint of a collector as it is for a member and allcomplaints, however trivial, are carefully investigatedand the trouble corrected. Still another evidence of theunity of the great family of philatelists!
