Interesting story...
forum.dvdtalk.com/movie-talk/594193-my-superman-ii-original-hand-drawn-storyboard-stolen.html
Here is a repost of his story from dvdtalk.
" Wasn't sure if this was the right category, but this is pretty funny.
So I have this tour company www.movielocationtours.com and my headquarters is filled with my movie prop and costume collection. Well last night I had a break-in, and the only thing they stole was a Superman 2 original storyboard But this story has a happy ending! Superman to the rescue! Literally! So the thief tried to sell it to the "Superman" costume character who stands out in front of Graumann's Chinese Theater and that Superman's name is Christopher (coincidentally), who also starred in the film documentary "Confessions of a Superhero". A couple weeks ago I hired this exact same Superman to pass out discount cards for my tour and he's been in my tour office and has seen the storyboard framed on the wall.
So Superman recognizes that this is stolen merchandise and the thief offers to sell it to him for $20 !! (as if!) Superman says he doesn't have any money on him because he is in costume so the thief honors him for an IOU and gives him the storyboard !!! Superman promptly returns my storyboard and I live happily ever after! Ha! But this story gets even better. The thief actually came in looking for a job last week and left his phone number!!! Dumb! So I'm now waiting for the police to show up! We'll give this guy a call and hopefully Superman will identify him! LOL!
This would be great press for my company if I could get some news organizations or blogs to pick up on the story. Pass this along if you know anyone!! Thanks!"
"By the way .... KTLA has arrived! Story on the 10 pm news tonight in Los Angeles! Woooooooooo"
