Distinctive t-shirts bearing Dr Who designs have mysteriously vanished from Durham City library.
Fans of the cult television serial about the time lord space traveller had displayed them to promote their convention later this month.
Festival organiser Josie Collins said the specially made T-shirts were mounted in a display cabinet in the South Road library.
It seems they were there one minute and then one of the library assistants noticed they were gone." But the sci-fi fan believes them is a rational everyday terrestrial explanation for the disappearance.
"Someone must have sneaked in, picked the lock on the cabinet and walked out with them," added Josie, of Gillesgate, Durham.
Police have been informed and given descriptions of the colourful T-shirts which both bear the Tardis In Durham - the local Dr Who fan club title - logo.
The T-shirts were expected to have raised up to £200 for charity at the convention auction.
Stars from the long-running series, including the third and seventh versions of the doctor - Jon Pertwee and Sylvester McCoy - plus script and score writers and even makeup artists, will be at the Three Tuns Hotel In Durham on October 17/18 for the convention.
