Found this on Kijiji, apparently stolen from the armoury.

Please note this is not a for sale ad, but an ad to locate the tunic for which a $750 reward is available

Here's the original message as posted by Bill Miller:

Canadian Kangaroo Regiment Archive

�� KANGAROO ITEMS STOLEN !!! ��
A Battledress blouse and badged black beret from the collection of William Lilbourne was stolen this morning, 22 October 2022 from the Peterborough Militaria show in Ontario.
The BD blouse is attributed to the late Lieutenant OG Johns, along with the stolen Battledress was a photo of Johns wearing this uniform. The Battledress blouse is a Size 8 made by Tip Top Tailors, dated December 1942 as clearly marked on an inside panel. The blouse is not named but has several identifying features such as the tailored open collar with light staining along with the distinctive Armoured Carrier insignia on both sleeves. (very clean, bright, neatly sewn, Dutch woven shoulder titles. Printed cotton variety of 79th Armoured Div ‘Bull’s Heads and tall narrow 31 Tank Brigade hour glass shaped ‘Diabolos’ in a medium green, light wool. As well, there are yellow backed, embroidered rank insignia on both shoulder straps. Overall, this jacket is in excellent condition. See photos.
The black beret is clearly marked on the inside, ‘Dorothea Hats Ltd. Toronto, 7 3/8, 1944’. It has a dark blue (RCEME or RCCS colour) backing sewn on behind the Kangaroo cap badge. The badge is not the one shown in the photo but similar. See photos.
The rarity of these items should make them easy to spot should they appear for offer somewhere.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Peterborough Police Crime Line at 705-876-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.stopcrimehere.ca.
Mr. Lilbourne has loaned and contributed a number of documents, photos and information to the Regimental Archive of the years and we would like to see these items returned to him as soon as possible.
Please share this post.
