Mentally Disabled Man's Superman Collection Stolen

That's Gary's ASS!
Two weeks ago, a thief took off with Mike Meyer's Superman collection, including over 1,800 comics and other memorabilia.  Meyer, 48, has been living on disability and a fast food jobs since he was 23.

Meyer gets giddy recalling the première of the first Christopher Reeve "Superman" movie, which his father took him to see on Dec. 15, 1978, at the B.A.C. Cinema in Belleville. His dad died when Meyer was 20; his mom, three years later.
Meyer said mostly only his friends and family knew of his collection, but he also made the mistake once of telling someone less trustworthy: a guy named Gary whom he worked with at the Hardee's on Madison Avenue in 1991.  Read more: www.stltoday.com
Recently, "Gary" came back into Mike's life.  The smooth talker made his way into Mike's house.  Then items disappeared.  Read more at Boing Boing and Newsarama

I am not one to convict without evidence, but we must find "Gary," tar and feather the bastard, then wrap some rubber bands onto the Gateway Arch like a slingshot and shoot the son of a bitch into space.

If anyone in the St. Louis area knows anyone named "Gary," kick the shit out of them just in case.  As a comic collector, this angers me.  As a human being, this disgusts me.  Some people are just shit.
