Have You Seen This Stolen Art?

Brian Doherty writes in about art that was stolen from him in San Diego.
...I'm not sure this is considered "big news" but someone on TCJ board suggested I notify the important comic blogs.

While I am no one million percent sure this is how it happened, it likely happened when I was bumped in a crowd around Park and 8th leaving the con last night and had my bags scatterd---when I collected them the one containing these five pieces was gone:

1) Jack Kirby Jimmy Olsen #144, p. 23
2) Frank Thorne "Tomahawk" page, don't know issue or page---guys fighting with axes
3) Gene Colan Dracula #66, page with Drac meeting woman in single's bar.
4) J Buscema rough pencil sketch Conan page
5) Kirby pencil sketch character study says "Super Friend" "Black Cop on prowl" or somesuch--a few diff perspective shots on a black police officer.

So, I hoped to get the word out in case someone tried to unload 'em at the con that they are stolen, have been reported as such to SD PD, and I'm offering a $250 no questions asked finders fee upon the safe return of the batch to me.
