<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 118432, member: 4552"]Not paranoid, just a lot more experienced at that sort of stuff. I know many dealers and they NEVER use thier home addresses for buisness. Many have PO boxes. Others use thier store, a freinds store or other inovative addresses. Coin robberies are becoming so prevelant, that many dealers have gone to some really neat steps to avoid a robbery. The only dealers I've ever heard that are not worried about coin theft are the ones that live in a very small town and know everyone. They are just used to that kind of life. Hopefully you don't live in an area like Chicago. If you did that there, you may as well put a sign on your house saying I dare you to rob me. I go to coin shows about 2 times a Month and I have known dealers for well into 20 years and none of them would ever use their home address for such a situation. Paranoid? No just been around and seen to many robberies, home invasions, stores robbed, coin collections gone, people shot to DEATH because someone thought there was a house full of coins because of something like your suggesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
