***Stolen High Value GA WWII cover books - Atlanta area*** 1 1

[JimButlerGA]

These comics (and perhaps more) have been stolen from my apartment in the Atlanta, Georgia area. It was done sometime this week while I was out of town. Several apartments were broken into at the same time by what the police are calling backpack thieves. My alarm went off and they fled but not before unlatching windows. Looks like they came back later and picked up a few recognizable character books and a few ungraded books I had laying around, leaving many other graded and ungraded books untouched. Please alert dealers, fellow collectors, comic shops,  and stay on the lookout. Feel free to share this. The books are insured through CIS.

Hoping you get them back somehow!

[AnkurJ]

Alert all local shops! So sorry this happened!

[G.A.tor]

Several of these Jim got from me. He’s a good dude. Everyone help spread the word (IG, Facebook etc)

Wow that is horrible Jim! You and I have interacted a little on Facebook so its like I'm taking this personally! Very happy to hear about the insurance though. 

[telerites]

I am so sorry.  I would set up saved searches on Ebay for the issues in case the dope tries to fence them there.  I think I remember @G.A.tor relating a story of comics stolen at a con where the thief would send them cross country to someone else and the accomplice would then try to sell them in a totally difference place so they may not stay in Atlanta.

Best of luck  I hope you get them back and the thief (thieves) are caught.

So sorry to hear this Jim.  Will keep my eyes open in my neck of the woods.

[Dark Knight]

Wow this sucks!?!? I hope you get your books back!! We've had so many success stories here with books being recovered, most notably Harley's. Will keep my eyes out for them. 

[Primetime]

I will keep a look out Jim. I am sorry this happened!
