I think you win the competition for the largest piece of memorabilia.

So congratulations for having the four of them in a good shape and moving with you through the years and decades

Kudos to them for stealing! That's not an easy piece to grab and go!I wish I had the space to display them properly, but I have to say that they are probably in such good condition from being kept stored, not displayed all that time.

My mum has told me the story loads of times. The guards were distracted taking care of the band when they went around for signing autographs and stuff, so they grabbed the big carton poster and started running down Gran Via (Madrid's biggest avenue)![]()
Can I ask you if you got them back in 1988 or any time later?

I got mine right out the theater in 1988 as well, although my story isn't as exciting. I knew the manager of the theater...

It's cool anyway! They probably are, as Paul says, the biggest piece of U2 memorabilia ever. (if you don't count the actual Zoo Trabants). Sad about your punctured TrabbieDo you still have it?
