At 3:13am on Friday, the 28th of July, Time Warp Comics of Boulder, Colorado, was broken into, with the thief stealing more than $14,000 worth of comic books. A white vehicle, believed to be an Acura RDX, but without a visible registration plate, entered the store's parking lot and backed into a parking spot directly in front of the store. The thief took out what looks like a hammer, and broke the glass door before heading straight to a display case of comic books, which they proceeded to grab and stuff in their duffel bag, before returning to the car and driving away. The suspect was wearing dark-colored pants, a long sleeve top with a hood over their head, sunglasses, white shoes, gloves, and a mask. A second their arrived separately after the initial burglary and stole money from the store.

"He definitely knew exactly what he came in here for," said Time Warp Comics owner Wayne Winsett to the Daily Camera. "It's obviously a customer or somebody that's very familiar with the store. He had a backpack, knew exactly where to go, what to take fast and was in and out in less than two minutes."
