1Cool Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Wow - that is terrible. Did they smash in his van window and grab a short box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazingbob Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 One of the nightmares of doing shows is exactly this type of thing happening. lordisam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgrumble Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 These reports of stolen goods are getting more and more frequent, and it depresses me. Is there a centralized place for this type of information in the comic book community? Does http://stolencomic.com/ meet this need? We should consider having a category on the forums dedicated to reporting stolen comics (with an optional e-mail alert?). thewritestuff, lordisam and Catwomancomics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Harley has insurance so I'm guessing all of our collectible insurance will have to clime with all these thefts occurring. I told a co-worker about the story and approximated how much was sold and he said "you guys need better security with that much cash". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfcityduck Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Terrible! The "old school" feel of that event was really cool. I spent an hour and a half making my first circuit of the room (just looking, not buying yet). Was starting my second circuit and was going to buy a beautiful (no. 2 on census) and cool comic from a dealer, but he wanted cash for the best price (which was far far more than fair!) and when I left to hit an ATM to get the cash I got a call from my wife for a family emergency so I couldn't get back to finish the transaction. I hope that the dealers don't get scared off by this sad turn of events because I plan on going to the next one. Was a throw back to the convention of my youth. wormboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDaddy1 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'm probably gonna get a fire safe to keep all the really valuable comics so no one steals from me. Hope the person gets his comics back, and justice is served! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blazingbob Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) All we need is a Joe Pesci of the comic business to get the word out. There was a few jokes made at C2E2 that we could take the guy down to a "room" for awhile.

Glad you enjoyed the show. The books weren’t stolen at the show, but from his vehicle later that night. From what I’ve read, three thieves have been caught, but most of the books are still unaccounted for, which is why we need to all be on the lookout for these books. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My question is, how did the thieves know that Harley has something valuable inside his vehicle? Did the vehicle have his dealer name on it "Harley Yee Rare Comics" or something like that? If so, then he was broadcasting out publicly that he is a dealer of valuable comics. Was he followed after the show? I'm hoping there is some sort of security cameras that may have caught what had happened that may lead to identify these scumbags. That's a lot of books stolen from him. Really hope he gets all of them back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
