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 Thank you I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapleleafvann Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, SOLAR BOY said: 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. Jesus....this is beyond awful. I'll be watching for these books throughout Vegas for you too..... I'm glad you did nothing at the time.......you're still alive to post this and when it's all said and done, your life is far more important....

Junkdrawer Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 It always pains me to click on these kinda threads to hear about some books lifted at a show, but to hear about Craigslist + comics + guns, just add a whole level of crazy and danger that just don't belong anywhere in this hobby. Glad youre alive Solar. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yes, +1 to everything, but also thank you for the courage to share your story beyond the fact of the stolen books. I cannot be the only one for whom it is a wake-up call. I don't sell on CL but I check out stuff to buy often...same difference, as surely the scam works in reverse (expecting buyers to show up with cash). I always leave it locked in the car until I can assess whether I am going to proceed, but that is not 100%. I would think many of us buy, sell or both there.

Robot Man Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Man, that's beyond scary. You did the right thing giving up the books and leaving the kid alone. El Monte has some gang activity. I live in the LA area and will pass the word. When did this happen? They might have been shopped around at the Long Beach con this weekend. Just another reason I don't transact on Craig's List. Hopefully, you got the license number. Glad you are safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
