Someone get Frank Castle in on this. That man needs to be punished. Haha seriously though, that sucks. But why the hell wasn’t it locked up? My comics aren’t nearly as valuable, but no way in hell do I let them out of my sight unprotected.
I own a copy of AF #15 and I keep it in my place, but I don’t have a gang of people going in and out of my house like this guy did.
To add to what Kenneth said, I’d like to know how it took this long, the report said between the 20th and this past Monday, Nov 14th. for it to be reported stolen?
Something is a bit strange. Where would he have it that it would be easy to take, and why did it take this long for it to be reported?
Too many questions that aren’t answered in this report.
A Amazing Fantasy #15 in his house? Sure …
Insurance Guy: Any valuables in the house?
Homer: Well, the Picasso, my collection of classic cars…
Insurance Guy: Sorry, this policy only covers actualy losses, not made-up stuff.
Homer: Well that’s just great!
Where was this guy keeping such a valuable piece of history? I’d have put that in a bank vault!
Spread the word to the local comic shops and EBay to be on the look out as the thief will undoubtedly try to fence this!
I’m not going to let this go unpunished,AWW HELL NAW.
LET’S GET THAT SOB! Crawlspace Avengers, ASSEMBLE!
