we know comics were sold out of the place where he moved all the customers books into...but I want to confirm that included client books 100%

I would like to think that despite all of his bad decisions he knew not to cross that line.
 

However he did have a theft loss before right? Didn't someone say a book they never actually sent was on the insurance claim? Im sure it was a mistake and removed from the claim after discovering it….right? 

Could you imagine a nightmare scenario of the books being thrown into cardboard boxes like old newspapers or worse thrown out.  Imagine the eyes of a collector that got all of these comics in a storage clean-out sale for a few dollars.

None of this is surprising. I always feared the selling of books to live on or to pay medical bills. Very sad news. 
 

They keep people in that long for misdemeanors (or is one a felony) without citing them out to court?

Look on the right, the front cover extend on the back

I hear there is a Hero Restoration service that does resto work. 

Yes, possibly worth at least 1 billion, maybe even 1.2.

This person’s lack of understanding and ignoring of the law lead to his arrest.

I thought someone mentioned he may have over a million dollars in stolen goods at this point.  I would venture to guess that's a pretty high enough level of crime to have a judge sign off on a search warrant, if that's an accurate figure and documentation can be provided to the court?   

That’s the thing. Getting enough documentation and people willing to move forward. Even then, the Police/Courts will have to agree it’s worth pursuing criminally and not just say, “It’s a civil matter, you can take him to court.”

I haven't read this entire thread and don't know if this has been suggested already, but how about finding his home address and someone going in person with law enforcement to reclaim all the stolen property.  If he refuses to answer his door, obtain a search warrant to recover the stolen goods in his possession/property and put an end to this fiasco... 

Just saw your comment Mr. Zipper and looks like we are thinking alike

I believe a search warrant with law enforcement involved would be a solution that does not involve Mike's assistance or approval...

The Police are not going to do a search warrant unless they agree it’s a high enough level crime and go looking for evidence.  You can’t just ask them to do one. A Judge would also have to sign off on it.

The thing I don't get is why there are 5 full pages in this thread

Storage locker bad = don't do it = thank you, next thread .......

Some people are very passionate about their storage knowledge and experience. Be nice

So that was the Joker from the comics?

It’s the Joker, so still a comic book movie but just a different interpretation and style. 

Going into 2024, it appears the movie threads are the place to be!

One thing I found was that most moving companies subcontract out their work, no matter what they say.  I won't say they are all crooks, but the moving industry is full of thieves. 

Some will also show up with a bill not agreed to or a problem and if you don’t pay them they won’t let you get your stuff. They know they have the person over a barrel in that situation. Thats why I just used the pods. It may cost more but less hassle. 

When I moved from CA to VA, I took the keys with me. The rest of the long and short boxes went into the “PODS.”  The good thing about the PODS is that you pack them so you can make them as padded and secure as you want. Heck, you could build a wall around them if you wanted.

Is Sledder out of town? I sent a bunch of questions a couple of days ago with no response.

He gets lots of messages this time of year and volunteers as much time as he can. I am sure he will get back to you. He always does. 

There is no way she is Doom. They have learned their lesson by now right? Right?

If they do a gender swap, Silver Surfer?  
 

Medusa would make sense.

How about start your own threads?

I started this because of a specific, recurring, preventable issue, that having worked at a couple of different storage facilities in multiple states, I wanted to warn people about.

Don't dilute this thread, please.

Wow, alrighty then. d

I wonder if the thread title ought to be changed so it's more of a "catch-all" for the broader subject(s) of book safety, insurance, theft, etc. Not sure what that title would be.

Agreed. Something like, “Book Safety: safes, storage units, insurance, and other tips.”

We should link the dangers of a gun safe thread in here. I had a few in one and thankfully I saw the thread and got them out before any visible damage occurred. 

High percentage of voters voted yes but a low turnout, most likely due to many eligible not being too active in the industry.

Page three and no mention of Spider-Boy? He's new but man, do I hate him already. Here he is on his first ever cover kicking a bird. 

I never picked up on the bird kicking.  I really need to pay better attention. Lol

Please post your candidate for the title of Worst Sidekick

@1950's war comics?

What percentage of women that stay at home to raise the family have zero decision making? I didn't realize the percentage of decision making was tied to the hourly bring home rate. I know we don’t have many women here but maybe the stay at home dads can way in.

I wonder how many women would choose or love to stay at home if they could but it takes two incomes to make it.

The fact that "it's too far for people to scroll" is really a reach and frankly, pretty ridiculous reasoning.

It’s not that it’s too far to scroll exactly, just hard to find and not accessible to visitors.  I even had a long time member type me because he couldn’t find it.

Done!

Good call! Spirit of the law usually works well. If people abuse the leeway, destroy them. 

This thread summed up.
