No one should be that stupid.  Hello camera!  Sorry for the loss but on the bright side Celestial Comics probably got way more than $ 1500 in free advertising from the story.  

Is having news organizations advertising how someone was able to take three very large items and shove them down there pants and walk out of the store with them a positive advertisement for there business?

I apologize. I edited the post because it was uncalled for.

You a good man Jimmy.

Free publicity never hurts.  Further, professor Moriaty is all but caught so its not likely that anyone will see the video and think that the caper was something to emulate.

Isn't the German X-Men a $20 book?

CGC graded and signed by Stan Lee, it's probably a $75 book.  So, priced at $500 in a Las Vegas comic shop sounds about right.

Stan Lee now charges $130 per sig.

True, but trying to sell it later might get you $75.

That's more than double what it three years ago.

Maybe he signs it twice as large now.

The shops owner is the head of Desert Wind, which had a long time deal as an agent for Stan's  signings. I'll wager he did not pay retail for it.

Maybe he was just trying to impress the ladies with his large, oddly shaped bulge in the front of his pants.

If the store made a $1500 claim on insurance and had a $1000 deductible, they still may have got more than that modern drek is worth

I checked out the 8 News Now website to see if there is a followup.  There is not.  And for Vegas, the talent working for this station needs ratcheted up desperately, I mean good lord.

Maybe he came into the store in" short pants", well it can be tiring lifting those comics. Oh my my puns are getting worse, either way he looks like an Elf who has features like that?

Quote

He stole a Uncanny X-Men #266, Giant Sized X-Men (German Edition) and a Walking Dead #115. He entered the store with a young lady who had a baby in a bassinet. He walked into our HIGH END section of the store

Wow, I wonder what he has in the "low end" part of the store.  And $1500? Talk about blatant insurance fraud.

Even in 9.8 what's GPA for these lame books?

I can't imagine Stan Lee's signature adding that much value to those books.

Very good video image of this schmuck.  Shouldn't be too long before he's tracked down.  He practically has his face right into the camera in a few shots like that guy who got nabbed stealing Tom Brady's jersey in the locker room right after Super Bowl LI.
