Sketchbook stolen

Hi everybody,

 

Last night my storage shed by somebody.  It was a crime of opportunity.

Mostly what was stolen were tools and a few graded books.  The item of true value is a custom bound Sketch book with sketches of Golden Age Sandman.  The spine is lebeled sandman mystery theater in rose gold.  This is possibly my most prize possession.  It contains sketches by John Cassaday, Mark Brooks, George Perez, Glenn Fabry, Steve Dillon, Carl Potts, Gabrelle Dell otto, Gesseppe camuncoli, Alan Davis, Adam Hughes, Sam Kieth, Kelley Jones, Rob Liefeld, Ben Templesmith, Karre Andrews, and more.  if anybody spots this sketchbook in its entirety or single sketches sliced from it please contact me and the police.  I am offering a small reward as I am not a rich man.

I live in lewisville texas a suburb of dallas and the local shops know about it so does every shop within 50 miles of me.  If for some reason the person who stole this item comes on here and sees this I will let them return it no questions asked.

 

Please Help

Thanks.  I have been getting sketches in this book for 10 years.  Just the book alone cost me 90.00 the sketches are a whole nother story.  I am really afraid that the thief thought it was a laptop since it was in a laptop bag and might throw it away when they realize it is not.  I checked every public trashcan and dumpster within a half mile of the  storage shed.

Guys If everybody would print out this post with my email address Kris_comics@yahoo.com and take it to your local comic shop no matter where you are in the united states or canada and ask them to post in there local retailer webgroup It might help me to retrieve the book someday. I don't think it will leave texas maybe not even the city but I am desperate and heartbroken. I know it sounds stupid to be that wrapped up in a book but I am not rich I didn't just throw money at this book I went to many conventions and store signings and got the sketches one at a time back when artist didn't mind sketching for a fee or for free.

thanks.  I was on cloud 9 all day knowing that I have my sketchbook back.  My tool box also a couple of rare prints a statue and some other random stuff.  

I'm still on the lookout then :)

With the new developments, maybe you'll catch a few more leads as well!

That is great news!

In the future, if you continue to store valuables in a self storage unit, you should buy some insurance to cover it. It might be available right from the self storage facility and is usually inexpensive. Like $6 a month for $5000 coverage.
