Someone has my comics!!

[wolfling40-migration]

About 10 years ago my parents were moving house in Arizona. I was living in Taiwan. A box of my comics went missing -- one of the movers apparently "liberated" it. I was only told of this a couple of years later so nothing could be done about it.

These were mostly comics that I collected at the time they came out and would grade around 9.2 and above (except for the first four titles). As you can imagine, I was not thrilled about this. The titles I mention are only the ones that I can remember as I didn't have a list at the time -- there are certainly more. These were runs of the first 5 or 10 issues.

So if you ever hear of anyone telling the story of "finding" a treasure box of valuable comics, you know where they came from.

 

The missing comics:

Metal Men (complete run including Showcases)

Dynamo

Thunder Agents

No-Man

 

Marvel Team-up

Red Wolf

Ghost Rider

Hero for Hire

Warlock

Demon

Kamandi

Plop

Werewolf by Night

Manthing

Boy Commandos

Sandman

I believe those are now commonly referred to as the Desert Heist Pedigree....

 

I'm sorry for your loss...

I hope everyone has learned a valuable lesson here:

 

1) Always move your valuable, easy to scam items personally. Rent a truck or courier it you cheap buggers.

 

2) If you are having work done on your home, keep track of any workers, do not allow them to occupy multiple floors/rooms, lock your windows tight and for God's sake, put your valuables away.

 

3) Never let anyone take anything out of your home/apartment, especially in the guise of a "big bag of garbage". My uncle stopped a guy one time, and the garbage bag had some very old Sports Illustrated's all stacked in the bottom.

 

4) If a contractor enters your home and starts making comments about your belongings, how much you paid, what you own, etc., get him/her the FRACK out of there. It sounds suspicious in text, but it many times takes the guise of chit-chat. One my friends in Richmond Hill got his place busted in not a week after a electrician's assistant gabbed endlessly about his incredible A/V equipment. Bingo, guess what got scammed.

Or you could just not move

Or let you house turn to rubble, or just burn down from electrical failures.

Or if you buy a decent lot of land you can build a new house next to your old one..and tear down the old one..then you can just walk your stuff over to your new house
