Active shoplifter working in Southern California area 0

[NoMan]

small hispanic man with lots of tattoos including several face tattoos has been hitting Southern California used books stores/comic shops. Got away with a small Spiderman SA collection from used bookstore (cant get any more details on books. About 500$ worth owner tells me.No cameras.) This is a super cool start-up small used bookstore and it's gonna be a big loss for him. Hispanic Shoplifter later seen at Several Pasadena stores but word had got out by that time and d-bag was cased by comic shop employees, so no thefts. Not sure what stores have cameras and what ones don't.  Moves from Pasadena to Sherman Oaks to burbank to Santa Monica and surrounding areas. Don't know if he's fencing the comics at Frank and Sons or what. Maybe he steals there, too. Thought some folks here would like to know.

Just out of curiosity, which bookstore had the comics? I know of a used bookstore in Pasadena; way overpriced small selection of graphic novels.

 The small bookstore was The Battery Books and Music on Los Robles.. They were hit with the 500$ in SA Spiderman. Nice owner. Cool to the community with free in store concerts for aspiring musicians. Just an all around cool guy who probably can't take this financial hit. Next up shoplifter hit Collectors Paradise then Book Alley then The Comics factory. Tried P Dots in Altedena but Lawrence was clued in and hovered over him like a hawk. Eventually d-bag made it to Sherman Oaks and Earth 2 were owner Carr had been alerted and followed d-bag like a hawk around store. Don't know if guy went to Secret Headquarters in Burbank or Blast Off in North Hollywood. Unsure of his activities in Santa Monica.  

Didn't try to sell anything, only jack s h i t.Probably sells it at Franks and Sons. Those dealers will buy anything.

Sad to hear!

On a side note, on the t.v. show the big bang theory, they live on Los Robles.....and they visit a comic shop obviously they're on set, but interesting that they are real places
