That’s sucks. Freaky thing is that I lived on Willow Street in Hoboken on the 900 block about 10 years ago!!!!
When you leave priceless comics like those classic Amazing Spider-Man ones lying around in an unlocked basement for a whole year then you’re asking for trouble. It serves the owner right for being such a irresponsible plonker.
wow what a moron….he didnt lock the basement…i bet he didnt have home owners/apatrtment insurence either….well when you play w/ fire you know how it goes.
IT WASNT ME!!! I got 300 and 121 and a few 60’s issues last weekend!!!
What do I think… I think if you store $80,00 in rare comics in an unlocked basement, and they get stolen… you were kind of asking for it.
