so I'm pretty sure it's just a joke.

I was excited that I may have been able to help, but I just have issues from volumes 36 and 37... Perhaps this is for the best, as it would have deeply fed my pack rat tendencies.

Did somebody steal these magazines or are they just being overly dramatic?

I'm guessing they lost their back issues due to neglect and sometimes tragedy. When people are first starting out they often don't think that in 30 years time they will want a physical copy of their joke periodical and warehouse space is always limited. When budgets get tight it is sometimes the storage bill that has to be cut.

They could have just lost them too, doesn't need to be nefarious.

Hard to tell if the onion is trying to be funny?

It was me. Just wait until they find out which of the 1920s issues I took.

libraries sadly have to destroy old archives all the time
but it's not like a lost Doctor Who episode, it will show up eventually
meanwhile they can keep eerily predicting dystopia like the government televising executions for entertainment a year before it happens

Should have posted the direct link with more details about what they are looking for and how to help.
