Haven't seen this posted, so excuse me if I'm repeating it. Aug. 30th ... https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethes...se-surveillance-video-of-coin-store-burglary/ This guy may want to find a new line of work.
Yeah, it was posted earlier. Seem to recall that several cointalk members identified it as Julian Leidman's store. Cal
There was a store here that was robbed a few years ago. There were a few robbers, they hit him over the head stole gold etc. He shot and killed one of them. He was dying at the hospital with gold bars falling out of his pockets. Since then his place has been locked up tight and will only see people by appt. Reading reviews on the net, it seems he might not be a nice guy. That's neither here nor there. I had wanted to check his store out after my regular LCS disappeared in the middle of the night. I had been going to him for many years buying and selling. I show up one day and the store is empty with no forwarding address etc. He used to complain about EBay, so if he didn't sell his store/inventory perhaps he's selling there. I've stopped patronizing EBay a few years ago.
Julian has been robbed twice while attending coin shows as well. If memory serves, the last one happened when he left his coins in his car while going in a restaurant to eat.
When I lived in Seattle a man broke a basement window and climbed in. He was trying to rob the bank. He cut his arm on the glass. The door to the room he was in was locked from the other side. There was a phone in the room and nothing else. He couldn't reach the window to get out so he called 911. After a trip to the hospital he was taken to jail.
Another idiot backed his pickup truck into a 7-11 parking lot. They kept their safe in the front window. The clerk was filling the cooler so this guy walked in and attempted to rob them. When the clerk came out he called the police. When the police arrived they found the thickness drove off and a heavy chain around the safe. The other end of the chain was attached to his bumper along with his license plate.
