- A Bleeding Cool article is reporting that a large collection was stolen recently in Vermont. Dealers and collectors in the northeast should keep an eye out if they suspect someone selling a collection that resembles one in the article below. If so, please get in contact with the proper authorities. Here's the article - http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/01/25/jim-wheelocks-comics-collection-stolen-brattleboro-vermont/
P.S. - I wasn't sure where to post this here at CBR but I thought it needed to be posted somewhere as I came across the article while killing sometime online. Also, as collectors, we should look out for each other when stuff like this happens.

- They have the thief. They don't have the comics. If the authorities didn't recover them at the "flea market" he may be looking at a lost cause. Very unfortunate. Here's to hopin' he gets his books back.

- He lives in LA, but his comics were stored in Vermont. That's must be a real headache to deal with living on the other side of the US. I wonder why he didn't just have them shipped to a storage unit closer to home in LA.

- Man, that sucks. I lost my whole collection to a house fire and am just now starting to collect again. To lose it because some Ahole stole it just makes it that much worse.
