So, next weekend I was going to be setting up at my first show in about 6 years. I went to my storage unit, and there was a different lock on it...
My unit was broken into, and they replaced the lock, so the management of the place never noticed. I have no idea when. It looks like they did catch the guy, as there were 16-17 other units broken into. I still have to contact the policeman working on the case and file a report. I'm assuming everything is long gone. I have renter's insurance but that won't hardly cover anything.
Basically I just lost probably 95% of my comic book collection, and 40+ years of collecting. Kinda makes me want to say f*ck it, and get almost totally out of the hobby. In addition to books, TPBs, CDs, clothes, and other stuff I can't think of right now.

As many have already said, this is a terrible thing to deal with and you have my sympathy.This loss IS a kind of bereavement, try to not let it sour your enjoyment of this great source of entertainment.
Such a bummer! Stay strong, Travis.
Travis,
I'm so sorry to hear this. What a horrible thing to have to deal with.
Any update on this, Travis? Any chance of getting any of your stuff back? What happened to the guy?
Hi everyone!
You can't imagine how much all of the well wishes mean to me. I truly love this community.
Unfortunately, nothing good has popped up. The person they arrested for robbing this place, had no comics. Where do we go from here? I dunno. I still have so many thoughts swimming through my head.
This weekend was the first time I've read a comic since I found out. The main reason is because the company I work for has a reading challenge for Toys for Tots (every 100,000 pages we read as a company we donate $1000 in books)
I ain't going to lie, I've been depressed for a while, but I am finally coming out of my funk.
