$75,000 in Collectibles Stolen From Altadena Home

http://ktla.com/2014/02/12/75000-in-...#axzz2t8799jiY

A man from Altadena made a plea for the public’s help Wednesday in getting back $75,000 worth of collectibles that were stolen from his home.

Among the items taken included a Stan Lee-signed Captain America shield, a Doctor Doom statue and about 700 Blu-Ray discs, according to longtime collector Martin Anderson.

The collectibles — which he amassed over a 40-year period — were stolen sometime between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday, Anderson said.

He added that he believed he had been deliberately targeted.

“You see the broken glass, they came in through the window, and they took everything that’s high-end,” Anderson told KTLA. A surveillance system in the home was also disabled during the time when power was cut to the home, he said.

Anderson had a message to whoever was responsible for taking the items. “You’re not going to be able to sell that stuff, guys. They’re going to know you took it,” he said.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Altadena Station told KTLA that Anderson has filed a report.

KTLA’s Kacey Montoya and Tracy Bloom contributed to this report.

Oh man... I hope this creep gets what's coming to him.
Stealing furniture and electronics is one thing, but stealing collectibles is so personal, it can leave a terrible mark.

Wow that's horrible and every collector's worse nightmare. I hope they track these crooks down.

and that is why my dog is not locked up when I leave for the day. if I cant blow or cut your face off for breaking into my HOME then he will chew it off.
Sorry this had to happen and he is right they wont be able to sell it outright they will have to take lowballs on it if they can sell it.
Hope he gets his stuff back and they get the max penalty for the dollar amount stolen.

Just saw the news report. When you get the numbers of what items I will keep an eye out. Kind of gives me the kick in the butt to record the numbers and pictures of my collection.

Though the fact they cut the power to stop any security leads me to think some he knows. Also to have cameras on backup power.
