Default Parts stolen, can you help me out

Hi everyone,
I bought a lot of parts for my RS500 build up. Unfortunately the diff, prop shaft, axles, all the bling for the engine bay, rear side window exterior trims and car wiring loom were stolen during shipment from England to Australia ( I had a 400 hp engine, new coil overs and mint interior in there lucky they did not take them). I need to replace these parts and find somewhere to store these bits till I can get them sent over. I met a lot of great people as I bought the parts, it is sad that this had to happen. Its expensive and makes it hard to trust people.

Can anyone help me.

It is interesting, everyone claims that it was not them. Pinpointing the actual place that the parts went missing is hard to do. If you think about it I bought parts of people in UK, shipped them to a secured storage center then crated and sent them to Aus, where they went to customs then to me.
So each stage had some paperwork but the exact listing only really applied at customs in Australia.
I still have one slight hope that the parts are misplaced during storage and could be found but I am almost sure they will not be there. So It becomes my word against the freight forwarder. So I cannot claim on insurance. I know I am gonna wear the loss regardless. Its one of those cases.

If I can find someone that can help me by storing and packaging these few parts as I collect them that would be fantastic.

Maybe you can suggest an economical means to get these parts by, the setup I had is too expensive for just a few parts.
The diff is the hardest part, its so heavy.
