Today was a very interesting day, one filled with deep sadness, defeat, irony, laughter, than servere scolding. But first I must start with a short intro. For the past 2-months I have been in a Mock Trial club. We have practised around the clock to prepare for an upcoming trial contest, conviently, on this day. At 9 AM we started and went for about an hour. Unfortunately, due to the case being heavily in the defenses favour, we the prosecution, lost. Now I wasn't heavily devastated because we tried really hard and they came out on top. So in between the lunch break and until our other team (We enetered 2 teams of 5), the group decided to go downtown and get something to eat. After a hearty breakfest of Hamburgers and Pop, we headed over to the local pool joint to rack it up. But, I decided to stop into my local comic shop, before we went, to pick up my favourites. This included Transformers part 2, Two Metal Gear Solid Comics and some Army of Darkness. So after I paid (It was $30's), I met up with the group at the hall. However I was a little longer than I thought and only a few others stayed to play with me and the rest went to prepare. So I put my bag and coat down on the bench and we played for half an hour. It was when I was paying where I said "Hey....where is my bag?" Someone had stolen my comics.....in a pool hall . Now i'm sure they must have thought it was crack or something of value to him but What the Hell??!!!! Now you might say, that's not alot of money (which I, to an extent, agree) or you could just buy them again. I wish I could. Both the Transformers and the Army of Darkness were the last books they had. And they only bought 1 Transformers because I am the only person who buys it . I also find it ironic that I was apart of the law system trying to prosecute guilty, thevieing, bastards, and had something stolen from me . But honestly, who does that???? Any funny statements, questions or random facts to make this day feel better would be appreciated!
No I'm.. isn't. Anyway, you can't just assume the thief didn't know what he was swiping. Maybe he took a peek in the bag, saw the books, and thought "Hey, Optimus Prime! I remember that!" and decided to abscond with your comics in a felonious fit of nostalgia.
I agree. It's funny because the only guy that went near my stuff was a 45 year old scruffy looking guy who didn't look literate. I'm glad at any time to spread the popularity of Transformers and promote them. But when I can't read the last copy, that's when I get mad. Can anyone make scans or send me there old one
