Man stole housemate’s comic books to buy ‘food, cigarettes and marijuana,’ police say:
The Springfield man collects Magic the Gathering cards, Pokemon cards, vintage video games, figurines and more.
And some of those items — including three comic books signed by Stan Lee — carry special meaning for Pappas.

When some of his items started disappearing early this year, Pappas said he confronted his housemates.
Some of his housemates said their video games were also going missing, Pappas said, and another couple who lived at the home claimed they didn’t know anything about it.
Narrator voice: They did know something about it.
Fortunately, this won’t happen to me, as I have children, who are already filching my role-playing games and comic books and destroying them, ruining their resale value. So burglars and housemates of questionable character (of which, we only have cats) will do better elsewhere.
