  1. Hmmmmm.........just as I thought. Follow the shoe!
  2. One short box of Bronze Age king size and giant size books. Runs of Defenders, Master of King Fu, Daredevil, Avengers, Peter Parker Spectacular Spider-man, Captain America, Nova, What If, Marvel Fanfare, Conan, etc all gone due to an experienced criminal who fished my friend and exploited naïveté and a zest to want to share unnecessarily with the world his collection. Let the bragger beware for the world is watching and sometimes the egg less golden in one eye is certainly a means to an end to another.
  3. I'm thinking my post has taken a turn towards the abstract. Innuendo aside and legs akimbo, there at last is pause in the dramatic concerning stance pertaining to politico, Mayhap, perchance focus can be maintained concerning the blatant disregard for others property and place of domestic tranquility. Allowance for future efforts by the insufficiently thougtfless individual whom is attempting to loosen his load at my loss suffer from ridicule and scorn and contempt from the community within our framework of heirarchy in relationship to ones collecting preferences. Funny animals, duper heroes and cowboy superstars from days long gone shall always be held in reverence, high regard and on a pedestal. They have been a stepping stone and a backbone within our hobby from the earliest days to the present and should not be poo pooed because there is not an individual cumulative financial total that falls short of just one or two pop culture anomalies that have yet to withstand the test of time. To each their own. In the words of those less fortunate, thanks for the input?
  4. Yes. I've been told by a few friends thank gosh they stole Stuff nobody wants.🤔😕😡😭😭😭😱🙈
  5. The person named Bryan who broke into house and burgeled 10 boxes of comics has been attempting to disperse items. He's taking pics of items and contacting people around Bay Area from his car by email , text and his wife's phone. A sting operation was in play but culprit went silent. He has a history of burglary, possession of stolen property, assault, spousal abuse, resisting arrest , firing a gun at a moving vehicle etc etc etc. Police have yet to respond even with overwhelming evidence due to no violence involved. Be still my blood pressure. Here are some pics again. In one of the pics I enlarged to get closer ideas and you can see to boxes which contained night vision goggles. Something every burglar should have I'm thinking
  6. I'm thinking by now you have about 147 new friends you never knew you had. Prepare to be special, very special.
  7. Some of the items the thief is trying to sell in the Bay Area. He's driving around taking pics in his car and contacting stores attempting to move. One dealer had been in contact with thief by e-mail and phone contact. We have his name and address. There was an attempt to set up a sting operation but culprit has gone silent. A letter stating knowledge of his possession of stolen goods has been taped on his apt building and mail box area. Police have yet to do anything other than take report. Thief has a chance to return items stolen. Ball is in his court. He is being monitored on his coming and going and is told so in letter. Paranoia will destroy ya. insufficiently_thoughtful_person didn't even take out of old mylars and bags with price stickers on them. Sigh......😕 Fingers crossed. Also..... upon further close up of images I just noticed that he has a couple of packages that contained night vision goggles. We've found out he has a history of burglary and fencing stolen goods and has a history that's not too uplifting or shows he has respect for the law.
  8. I personally have never posted anything on any of those types of sights. I've never, no matter with how much pleading from friends and family signed up for Facebook. I have only recently signed up to get on Instagram and even then only to look at the phenomena of the virtual con sales of some of my friends on there. I've been asked to participate but no thank you. It's not my thing, but if it works for someone else great. Did my friend whose house was robbed post stuff on those sights? Yes he did and trust me I've told for years not to share too much on those sights, ESPECIALLY for vanities sake. My thoughts are it was someone or friends of someone in the neighborhood who noticed a change in his work schedule and somehow through the neighborhood grapevine knew what he's talked to certain neighbors about and what to look for. What they probably didn't realize on the other attempt was that he immediately changed back to other schedule after the first(?) theft and was going to be home Concerning my OP, it was an attempt to alert the comic book community what occurred and it sucked that the chat boards were down in the first couple of days the theft occurred. Stores and dealers northern, southern and central CA and other parts of country notified and such asap. Also a much more vigorous security system with many lights, bells and whistles is in the works. Anyone who wants to comment beyond that concerning judge, jury, prosecution and sentencing of the perpetrators feel free. Also concerning my statement to only maim the criminal it's so I can watch them suffer a bit while I lecture them on why they are writhing in agony. Not the most Buddhist or christain thing of me but.... And please feel free to comment on anything one wants and go tit for tat concerning the state of affairs our lawmakers and heads of state and such but remember to keep a lookout if something comes up. 🙈🔨
  9. It's just a shame. Yep even if caught they would just be back on street the next day. Unless you give the scum the chance to hurt someone in their attempt to rob you, and even then it's the defense they were on drugs and not responsible for their actions. They are the victims and why do you have something and they don't? I'm not for killing people but I do believe in blowing someone's kneecap or hand off if they break into your home and are threatening your home space by breaking in and pose a threat to ones personal property and physical well being.
  10. Hi, Tuesday/Wednesday night/morning Someonr broke into my friends house in San Francisco and stole 9 or 10 short boxes of comics. It sucked the chat boards were down for a couple of days. Here's a breakdown of the stolen books to the best of knowledge at this time most identifiable. Three short boxes full of Dell, Harvey, Gold Key and Charlton comics all double mylared at the time of theft. One of the boxes was full of Dell Westerns. 5 boxes of misc runs of early to late Bronze Age Marvels all main titles in mid to higher grades with one of the boxes filled with mostly king size and giant size books. Quite a few books still in old sticky mylites. A couple of boxes in new bags with self sealed tops strips not sealed. One half of one box with early bronze Thors in mylars with top tabs sliced off. One box mostly filled with high grade Marvel 40 cent price range Mark Jeweler insert copies. Two boxes filled with misc oddball golden age, stack of lower grade Uncle Scrooge comics, foreign copies of the Phantom, higher grade Adventure Comics numbers 360- plus numbers range, Flash, Actions, Forever people and New Gods and mix of coverless golden age and silver age. Early sixties fanzines and magazines etc etc etc🤔😡🔨 Thanks. UPDATE! My friend texted me that the thief or thieves attempted to come back for more. While watching television Friday night he heard some creaking on the stairs outside his kitchen patio and when getting up to check he yelled out person ran down steps and fumbled with door leading outside and ran away. It seems they slim jimmed through the security gate downstairs somehow not leaving tell tale signs of how they broke in first time and his thinking they broke in through the garage door of which he totally secured with clamps and disabled. When SF police did a more comprehensive search this time they showed him what had happened. He's now noticed some items other than comic books missing. A few vintage Transformers and such unaccounted for. He recently had been working a graveyard shift and not returning home until 6 am. Thoughts now is that it is someone in neighborhood watching his movements and took advantage of no presence at house. 😡 Frightening being targeted and not knowing who is possibly monitoring ones movements.
