SOLAR BOY Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hello everyone, Without boring you all I want everyone to please keep an eye for these three books. They are stolen and were stolen at Gunpoint. The authorities know and are well aware of exactly what happened here. If you have one of these in your collection or know someone that does please let me know. Thank you. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yikes Solar! Will do! Glad you're unharmed. Your books? Taken from you? (Don't want to assume; could be posting for a friend; maybe they were just back from Florida at your LCS, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 how did this happen? Did someone come to your home with a gun and a demand for comics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLAR BOY Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 I had them posted on Craigslist for sale. We talked on the phone and we agreed on a place to meet. Then the fun began. We met in front of a Carl's Jr. They showed up 20 min late, a kid comes out and was looking at the comic and I began to think something fishy was going on. I asked him if they were for him and if he was the one on the phone and he said yeah. I knew then I was about to get robbed. Then two guys come out of the van guns, take the three books and two short boxes of comics as well. It was crazy. I thought about grabbing the kid but didn't want to get shot to be Honest.

Bird Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 yikes! Glad you escaped the ordeal unharmed. You would think here would be a few businesses with cameras nearby, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think here would be a few businesses with cameras nearby, no? The Police spoke to the Carl's Jr and they said the Camera only goes so far and nothing showed on there when they checked. There were no other places nearby that could have spotted it. It was an old crappy white van....sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Baru Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Harsh, glad you are OK. More Cities should put together a Craig's List area for transactions. Generally, the ones that are in smaller towns are in front of a PD and under the watch of a camera. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Boy Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Wow ... damn that is nuts. Solar, hope you can get your books back. From what you said, they seem to know what you have and feels is worth to rob you. Too bad that Carl's Jr doesn't have a good video camera to capture good images. What is the world coming to? Guns to rob for comics? Lucky Breu is right. The best and safe location is at a local police station and under a good video camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMan Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I still travel the Los Angeles area to all the area comic shops (why, I don't know. Rarely worth the trouble. I guess I still love the LCS although most suck-a#@) List what you can that was stolen (above what you already posted, if possible) and I will keep my eye out. Was at comic shops in Glendale, Sherman Oaks, Pasadena and North Hollywood yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
