Default Well funky cheese and crackers Batman, I think someone stole the Batmobile.

From the headlines of the incredibly stupid.


Mark Racop is a minister and owner of a garage in Indiana called Fiberglass Freaks that builds replica Batmobiles That are said to be so good as to be indistinguishable from the original Batmobile. These replicas are licensed by DC comics who created the character, Batman.

A wealthy realtor in Atherton California, Sam Anagnostou Paid $ 170,000 toward his replica. Sam disappeared for 8 months and was not able to be reached. Sam also missed a $ 20,000 payment on his replica. Mark Racop after repeated attempts to reach Sam Anagnostou moved his replica down the delivery line to # 8. When Sam finally made contact with builder Mark Racop and made his $ 20,000 installment, Sam became angry to learn that his build had been moved down the line to #8.

Sam contactacted his friend, Sheriff Carlos Bolanos to get action. This was after the Atherton DA refused to file charges against builder Mark Racop. Sheriff Bolanos sent a four-man team across the country last week, to raid the garage that builds Batmobiles. It was their intent to seize the cars Mark was building and haul Mark Racop back to California to face charges. The Atherton DA has admitted in interviews if the facts presented are accurate, this was a civil case, not a criminal case.

The costs to send a 4 man team cost well over $ 1000 and now the town supervisors, people there and the DA want answers. Meanwhile, Sheriff Bolanos got out of town in a hurry and is purported to be on a month long " vacation. " Meanwhile, Builder Mark Racop's assets and bank accounts have been frozen.

Sheriff Belanos admitted to doing a favor for his friend and campaign supporter, realtor Sam Anagnostou

The U.S attorney general and FBI are said to be set to initiate an investigation.
