Yes David,
This is great example of Bruce and others who care (and I definitely include you, Jim Gresham and various linenbackers and other collectors) who have paid a price personally or done things way beyond the call of duty to protect us all. From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Kusumoto Sent: Saturday, November 1, 2014 3:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters * For the scant few who regard Bruce with antipathy, please delete this message. * For the rest, Bruce posted an update in his e-mail club today about the recovery of 5 of 10 linen-backed posters stolen earlier this year from a collector in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the pricier ones are still at large, but the good news is this is yet another illustration of how - over the years - the hobby's membership has worked together to identify and eradicate the Ebola-like carriers/scammers - large and small - out. -d. UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters (mostly valuable linen-backed one-sheets) Report In club message 709 <https://www.emovieposter.com/club/returnmessage.php?id=776> , we reported on a stolen group of valuable framed movie posters in Los Angeles. This week, we received a message from the collector who reports: "I thought I would update you as there has been an important development. Six posters from the stolen group did emerge last week when they were offered to a local gallery owner. She recognized them immediately and alerted me, at which time I notified the LAPD. The detective had no interest in trying to get to the bottom of it, so thankfully the gallery owner worked it out where the posters were returned to me, and I did pay a reward to the person who brought them to her, as they were clearly not involved in their theft. The posters recovered are: Our Blushing Brides, City Streets, Dance Team, Big Executive, Derelict. All one sheets, and I am very happy to have them back in the collection. The missing one sheets remain: Devil Is Driving one-sheet Riding For Justice one-sheet Notorious French 23x33 Shall We Dance one-sheet Pioneer Scout one-sheet So, sadly the pricier posters are still out there somewhere, but it is quite possible the thieves will try to sell those as well very soon. Thanks for spreading the word!" Here is our original report: We recently received this very sad news from a long time major collector who lives in the Los Angeles area: "I had a whole bunch of framed posters (almost all one-sheets, and all linenbacked and framed) stolen when I moved into a new house. I'll list them here just in case someone offers them to you, or anyone in your e-mail club. Title and size: Devil Is Driving one-sheet Big Executive one-sheet Derelict one-sheet Riding For Justice one-sheet Notorious French 23x33 Shall We Dance one-sheet Our Blushing Brides one-sheet Dance Team one-sheet Pioneer Scout one-sheet City Streets one-sheet" REPLY FROM BRUCE: That is really sad about the robbery. It is awful there are such low people in the world. I will definitely keep on the lookout for these posters. Now that the list of them has run here in the e-mail club, many thousands of collectors are aware of what the titles are, and that make it much harder for the crooks to sell them. URGENT: If anyone reading this has even the slightest clue as to who stole these (or if anyone offers you valuable framed linenbacked posters), please report it, and you may be in line for a substantial reward. _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> &A=1 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
