X-Force: Job

I just got off the phone with Christian. Apparently his old friend Martin Delacourt was killed as part of a break-in. No ordinary break-in since Delacourt was killed by a single blow to the back of his neck, snapping his spine. Delacourt was a collector of Asian art pieces; a hold over from years working on the Pacific Rim. Some of his pieces could fetch low seven figures on the black market. But those weren't the pieces stolen. The pieces they told where Qing Era reproductions of earlier Qin pottery, worth maybe three, four grand from a collector specifically interested in the era.

The National Museum in Liverpool has announced a similar theft of identical artifacts three weeks ago. In that case, the thief ignored other items, including gold jewelry in the same case, focusing on the artifacts. Something smells on this and he's asked us to look into it.

So can Dom - I keep forgetting more than one of us is actually computer savvy these days. ;) Go for it - many hands and all that.

Nice. We can share stories about the most ridiculous hot items we got rid of on Craigslist.
