" This jam piece by Ryan Stegman, Humberto Ramos and Edgar Delgado was supposed to get signed by Stan Lee during Wizard World Portland ’14 last weekend but somebody stole it from their booth."

Look, it may well be stolen but it sounds to me like this headline should say LOST and not stolen. The guys at the booth had this art in their possession but the article tells us nothing about why it should be considered stolen and not lost.

The article says stolen.

If it was lost it would mention how and where it was lost.

Stolen means it was there and now its not

stolen means you have a reason to believe someone actively took it. Having something be there and then you cannot find it means it is lost.

Well either way I hope it finds its way back to its original owner. The lack of information is a bit puzzling, though.

I'm actually with Sean. It's definitely gone, but the person who has it might not necessarily have stolen it. E.g. they put a stack of artwork on top and accidentally included that one when they took their art.

 

Stolen is a very strong word.

Don't know about this situation but I agree that just because it's "missing" doesn't ALWAYS mean it's been stolen---I know of at least two instances where a page "disappeared" from a dealer's booth -- in one they had sold it and not recorded it and only realized after the show and in the other they had misplaced it and it took over a year before they found it among other art. Those were bigger dealers though with hundreds/thousands of pages.

Hi guys,

 

I'm the owner of this piece. I just want to clarify the whole thing.

I was not there during the event but my friend brought the piece on my behalf to get it signed by Stan. He gave it to the organizer on Saturday and somewhere between that time and the signing session, he was called back to the booth to be told that the item went missing and was probably stolen. My other friend was with him and he confirmed it with me.

They were hoping the piece was misplaced but at the end of the day they felt strongly that it was stolen and asked my friend to file a police report, which he did.

I was told that the procedure was to register your piece to be sign to the organizer and he will put it on the list and then put it on the items to be signed stack. The piece was already registered but after that it went missing from the stack.

I used the word "Stolen" in my description because that was what reported to me.

Nothing more nothing less.

But I am hoping that it's just misplaced and hopefully it will find its way back to me.

 

Thanks.

I hope you get your art back! Good luck!

I'm really sorry to hear about this and I hope it turns up too!

Does the organiser have insurance? If it was his procedure that required the piece to be handed over into his care before signing then that might be worth looking into.

[J-M-T]

Fortunately yes.

As it was already recorded that the piece was in the possession of the organizer (before it went missing), they will reimburse me for it. They are going through with the insurance process after the police report.

Although I would prefer to have the piece back, but at least I could use the money to do another one again.
