Crime / Books The Case of the Missing Bat-Paraphernalia

Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 3:42 PM

The Miami Herald says that the heir to an hotel fortune may have been murdered for his immense Batman collection.

Much of the Batman memorabilia owned by slain Fontainebleau heir Ben Novack Jr. is missing from several warehouses in Broward County, The Miami Herald has learned. Sources close to the case said the locks on the warehouses were cut.

Where does someone unload 4 warehouses' worth of Batman comics, toys, and printed matter?

Is it Otel or Hotel? Since it's hotel, you use 'a' not 'an' in front of it. Didn't know the Stranger was copy edited by cockneys.

@1 had it right out of the gate. You bag it, board it, put it on the shelf, and have continuous nerdgasms until you yourself are murdered for the collection. This is the circle of life, and it will continue on unbroken.
