Totally sucks. Thieves are generally dim witted but would any be stupid enough to try and sell a slabbed book? Most likely they'll be cracked out

Not necessarily, there was just another thread like last week involving a stolen asm 1 7.0 , and X-Men 1 (3.5 I think) where the thief went and tried to sell them to another area shop owned by a board member and long story short, the books were recovered.

''Must'' be some one you know how could they have know about the books and their location?

Agreed.  It feels like these are not 2 separate incidents.  Having 2 happen in such a short time span seems more unlikely separate than not.  Does the op have insurance?  I hope so.  It's not that expensive.  I think State Farm charges me $.75 for every $100 dollars of coverage.  Very affordable plus it gives me peace of mind.

Think about who knows in your area and the type of people they know as friends.
