That's a shame. Does this happen often at convention shows?

[Mr.Diggler]

Wow that really sucks.

[Boozad]

That's rough.

unfortunately all the time.

[nocutename]

The lower cost books are bad enough but that first one listed, yikes.

[supapimp]

this happens all time. i seriously don't know why(dealers) they just don't hire security for $100 a day to watch out for this!?! but to harley's defense, it'll be hard for the thief to unload these books now.

[alwaysbronze]

thats a lot of books

[NewWorldOrder]

adventure

20 9.6 mile high $18000

 

 

Thats not a small book.

 

I wonder how that book was in a position to be stolen.

[blink]

How do you leave an $18,000 book just laying around?

This is what I do not understand, your asking for trouble and if your not responsible enough to protect your books at a show, then I dunno.

[shiverbones]

Mile High Adv. #20! Geez... that is no good.

[NewWorldOrder]

I do see dealers all the time that really don't monitor their books well at all, and they are just asking for trouble or basically are too trusting.

 

I shake my head alot of conventions.

 

Some dealers should where a t-shirt that say, "He Free Stealing this way."

 

 

This comment is not directed at any particular dealer in general or Harley as he one I would NOT put in that category above.

Yep, I was at the Supercon this past weekend and a couple times I literally had books in hand and had to yell or walk up to the dealer to get his attention to give him money. If I didn't have a conscience I could have just walked away with free stuff...

[paperheart]

Harley was at SuperCon- so whoever was manning the booth fugged up.

[Designer Toast]

Best of luck getting those books back

[JvR11]

Didn't a bunch of books get stolen last year too? This is terrible.

[50 Cent #II (1st)]

Rather long list of comics to disappear, was a box taken?

Looks more like a wall display was taken!

[JvR11]

I wonder if he has pictures so we can post them here.
