Stolen books

[ivegotneatstuff]

Does anyone remember a thread for stolen books? I did a search but nothing dedicated to the topic really appeared. The woman who cleans our building knocked on my door today and gave me an empty opened box addressed to me...telling me it was in the laundry room in another part of the building. Luckily she knew me, and knew I wouldn't throw a box away there. The book that was shipped back to me was missing from the box. I found out the mailman just left the box sitting by the elevator in the building...something he wasn't supposed to do...but also found out it is still not covered by the USPS. sigh... Here's the book... Would appreciate it if anyone sees this for sale anywhere to let me know

Watch ebay and ebid.net for starters.

HOLY MOLY David.

 

When you told me this, I thought you meant the book was in an open box. I didn't realize you meant it was JUST THE BOX.

 

I am so sorry.

I'll keep an eye out.I'm sure if someone were to sell it Ebay would be the place to be.

no the box was shipped sealed...someone (probably someone in my building..but there are 100 condos) decided to just grab it and open it ... i am sure they are probably not a comic collector as they had no way of knowing what was in the box before they opened it..

By the way.. I just purchased the domain www.stolencomic.com - I am going to try to find a web guru to help me build it. It will be a website for people to post scans of books stolen from them...and also a place for buyers of books to look at before they buy. Just need to get all the legaleeze stuff finished first

Why the heck would someone send a gorgeous book like that back?

Oh I dont know..but I had no problem with that they wanted to send it back. I always give refunds .. no questions asked.

That sucks that it is one of your neighbors too. My understanding is that the post office is suppose to only leave mail in a locked box and what does not fit they leave a note for pick up at the PO. It should be covered but I am sure they will supply a ton of reasons why its not. Wish you luck with recovering it.

Sorry to hear about the comic. What do you need to get started with the website?

I had a box of Unity books stolen from my truck out of my company's parking lot about 4 years ago...not the same, but still....

My postman leaves envelopes leaning against the door sometimes and I live in an apartment complex. Sometimes they leave notice for pick-up. I'm not sure why its different, maybe the method of shipping?

 

Anyway, bummer on the book. I hope you find the bastid.

I want to start on the website right away...even just using a template for now.

Is it just the domain name that you have bought?

 

Some free web hosting links here - most of them have easy to use templates:

Sorry to hear about the stolen book. The postman was just plain lazy. I think the web site is an excellent idea. It would be a good idea to contact all the LCS and give them a heads up.
