I thought it was known who the theif was -- an old "friend" of Joe's if I recall correctly from the COMICART-L list.

 

Has this guy been picked up by the cops?

What a shock !

Thanks for the alert I wouldn't have heard of it otherwise ...

Hope the thief get caught and the art retrieved !! Quite disgusting methods indeed, I guess there have always been conmen but to steal original comic art is sick !
