CaptCan Comics: Thieves Steal $70k+ Worth of Comics
CaptCan Comics, located in Ontario, Canada, was burglarized earlier this week. The shop owners reported that someone broke into the retailer overnight, destroying their door in the process, and made away with over $70k worth of graded comic books.
You can read the CaptCan Comics Facebook post in its entirety here. Unfortunately, the comics community is all too familiar with crimes of this nature. Comic books have become big business and as such, have garnered mainstream news attention. And with Golden Age comics fetching seven figures at auctions to rampant speculation, it doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. That, however, entices people with bad intentions.

This post, as well as the video I released earlier this week, serves to put more eyes on the case. The hope being that any extra attention will potentially lead to information towards justice and the property being returned to the owners of CaptCan Comics.
