I was walking down the street, eyes wide open and just taking in the vibe. It was like everything I'd ever read in those 80's rock magazines. As I walked up toward La Cienega and Sunset, I saw a black Bentley come around the corner onto Sunset heading East, at full throttle. Now, I grew up in the auto industry and those suckers are FAST! The Bentley went around traffic (very common on a Friday night on Sunset during normal times) and took the middle lane, heading into the East like a scalded cat. Not a few seconds later, there is a cop car chasing the Bentley in hot pursuit. Lights blaring, sirens screaming. He was having trouble keeping up with the Bentley. That was my 1st intro to West Hollywood. I never understood this song until living in L.A. Tony S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatlab123 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Sorry for your lose …I’m in Orange County when I go to the lcs I’ll mention it. Also his store was broken into on thanksgiving day so a lot of stolen books are out there right now. But as others have said check online etc , but it was your house so they may just sell the easy stuff then hold what they don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some better and some worse. As you know a VERY big and diverse area. One thing for sure. The weather and climate is hard to beat all year long.

If you'd like to learn more about it, visit the link. Just don’t visit here. It is a wild and lawless town.

It really is. But like any big city, you just need to be aware as any big city has lots of crazy in it, and probably moreso now than a few years ago. But you live in the best climate and area in North America, for sure. LA does genuinely have it all where you can ski, go to the beach or the desert, all within a few hours from each other.

Keep in mind that Los Angeles County has the same population as the entire state of Michigan so you are going to hear about all kinds of crazy, but overall on a per capita basis it's really no more dangerous than the U.S. as a whole, and safer than many other large urban areas. Of course to a Canadian the whole country probably seems a bit dicey. Robot Man, Tony S and VintageComics 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWorldOrder Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) I move to Huntington Beach during covid so we can have some more room from our other place in San Diego. So far not really likely much of OC to downtown LA. I do like just north of downtown LA. Nicer areas IMO there. Don't get me started on SF! That place is a lost cause currently.

All are part of the registry here. Curious beyond reporting to the police and local comic shops what can be done to prevent the books from being resold? I don't believe we were targeted. Thieves broke in and just loaded up on whatever they could carry out. I'm starting the painful process of checking my remaining comics against the registry to see what's missing. I may post a list of everything that was taken down the road. It's just going to take a while to make my way through it. I do want to mention that if anyone gets offered books with a white sticker on the back of the CGC bag they are stolen books. I used this as a means of tracking what I had input into the CGC database. Any advice the community can provide is appreciated. Be well everyone. What city of LA do you live at? Since LA county is huge it will help us SoCal boardies to know where these books could first be sold around.

So rough the cab drivers stopped working there after 10:00 PM. But I “knew people” and quickly realized that if I didn’t look or act like a victim, I wouldn’t be one. Same thing in LA. Like LA, a very cool town but those winters can be brutal! rjpb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
