Comic book stores, naturally. (Linked story includes video report/CCTV footage.)
Some schmuck walked into a Culver City comic shop wearing a Spidey mask, browsed around for a bit, and then smashed open a display case, grabbed $15,000 worth of prized comics, and was out the door before the store owners/employees could make it across the floor to him. He’d cased the place days before, also while wearing a mask.
Apparently he made his getaway on a bicycle.
What a bummer, on so many levels.
I guess it should be a lesson to Comic Book Guys everywhere, though: Don’t count on the guy in the mask just being a harmless geek. (Most of them don’t need to be told this, right?)
