Where not to store your comic books

How many of you have read this story?

Hoboken Police say that a woman from the 900 block of Willow Avenue called them on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. and reported that her vintage Superman comic books, Batman comic books, and Spiderman comic books, which she said were worth more than $80,000, were missing, according to Det. Sgt. Sam Williams.

The comic collector told police she had left six boxes of Marvel comic books in the basement of her building in a room that she uses for storage. The area is next to a laundry room that other residents use, she said, so basically, any local Joker could have been Robin them. Yea bad joke I know.

The six boxes were filled with over 100 mint-condition comics wrapped in plastic that date back over 40 years, according to the police report.

Police are still investigating the situation, Williams said last week.

Now I have to ask, if you know these books are worth over 80 grand, YES $80,000!! Why would you have them in a shared basement? Sell one of those damn books and buy a safe deposit or even a safe.

It was only 100 books I would of had those bad boys stuffed in a corner in the apartment. Maybe this was the old lady who lived in a shoe and she didn\'t want the books to smell like sole.
