gunsmokin Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Heads up everyone. Apparently several Stan Lee file comics were stolen in a burglary in the Roselle IL area. I bought the FF 6 that was posted last week and have now been informed it was stolen goods along with a few other books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyComics Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Was it an estate sale or comic book store? There is the estate sale will be opened this weekend. It is closer to my home. Edited August 14, 2018 by JollyComics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsmokin Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 He currently owes me $1700. The detective contacted me and said my book AND those Surfer books were stolen in a home burglary. I resold the book on eBay and that is how the Roselle police department found me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered those stolen books are belonged to the comic book store owner in Roselle area. The thieves could follow the owner to his home after closing the store. It would be an easy target.
