You would think a dealer would be much smarter than that. Most know better. Most insurance plans will not cover coins left in your car. I feel sorry for the guy but wow.

 

For a second I thought I knew Jeff. I bet I have seen him before, but I don't know that I could pick him out of a crowd. It's a shame either way.

 

This happened at the Parsippany coin show in NJ a couple of years ago. A dealer was followed from the parking lot of the coin show. He stopped at a diner on the way home and when he came out he found his car broken into and all of his inventory gone. Luckily for him there was no altercation - thieves were probably going to follow him home - who knows what might have happened. Coins can be replaced...

 

Hey! look at that, I found the news story! the power of the Google, boy I'll tell ya.

No worries - Salisbury PD put their best officer on the case -

 

Except that story is from nearly four years ago. June 11, 2010

 

Yes it was the story I was referring to in my post, not the story of the original post.
