The Salt Lake City, Utah home of Olympic cyclist David Zabriskie was burglarized recently, with an estimated total of over $200,000 in stolen property that included everything from vehicles to electronics to Olympic medals. Twelve bicycles were taken along with some of Zabriskie’s Sideshow Collectibles figures. Sideshow is proud to assist the Salt Lake City police investigation by encouraging all members of the collecting community to monitor secondary market outlets for the stolen pieces and sponsoring a cash reward for information leading to the recovery of Zabriskie’s personal property.

Greg Anzalone, Sideshow Collectibles CEO gave the following statement on the situation:

The cyclist Dave Zabriskie is a valued collector within our community and a personal friend. All of us at Sideshow think that it’s especially unconscionable for someone to steal Dave’s most personal possessions, his cycling medals, his bikes, and his Sideshow collectibles. I spoke with Dave shortly after he learned of the burglary and he was rather distraught by the loss.


The theft of personal possessions from the Zabriskie family is reprehensible and should not be tolerated within the cycling community or the collecting community.





Consequently, Sideshow is stepping up in support of Dave and his wife Randi. We are calling on the collectors within our community to monitor eBay and the secondary market along with us to track any recent postings by unknown or suspicious traders in Sideshow products who are listing any of the following items, perhaps from the Utah area:


• The Hellboy II Samaritan Pistol (metal version)
• The Ash Premium Format Figure from the film Army of Darkness
• The Punisher Premium Format Figure
• The Lara Croft Tomb Raider Premium Format Figure



Update: For those who have asked, David unfortunately does not know the edition numbers of the stolen Sideshow items, nor does he have the boxes for reference.


Sideshow Collectibles is also offering a reward of $10,000 to the person who provides the information that leads directly to the recovery of Zabriskie’s property. Persons with information should call the Tips for Cash Hotline set up by the Salt Lake City Police Department: 801-799-INFO (4636). Please reference case #09-32767.

This may not have anything to do with toys will it does have to do with toys in a way but Im only trying to spread the word about it...
