Tony Stark's Original $325,000 Iron Man Suit Was Stolen from a Hollywood Warehouse

Tony Stark has defeated the likes of Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Magneto. But the industrialist/superhero is apparently no match for the person—or persons—who made off with the Iron Man suit Robert Downey Jr. sported in the original 2008 film, which is valued at approximately $325,000. As the Los Angeles Times reports, the LAPD is currently investigating the incident, which occurred at a Hollywood warehouse and was reported earlier this week. The theft itself, however, is assumed to have occurred sometime between February and April of this year, and was only discovered by chance. According to the Los Angeles Times:

“The famous red-and-gold suit, which first flashed across movie screens in the 2008 Iron Man film that kick-started Marvel's movie empire, was reported missing Tuesday, [Officer Christopher No, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department] said. Employees at the warehouse ‘just happened to check’ Tuesday and noticed the costume was gone.”

Very few details were given; a spokesperson for the LAPD declined to name to whom the warehouse belonged, nor was it made clear who exactly reported the crime. Marvel, meanwhile, is directing any questions about the missing suit to Walt Disney Studios, and Disney did not immediately respond with a comment.

Sounds like a case for Jessica Jones.
