<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 25510935, member: 114635&quot;]I cannot offer any advice regarding your choices of merchandise. However if you have never set up at a show it would be worth the time to learn about the various ways that thieves might try to harm you, especially when you are most vulnerable. Always be mindful of your personal safety and the security of your merchandise. No doubt some of the CT members who are dealers who can give you some more pointers.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was a gem dealer one of the most common tactics was to distract you by squirting mustard or ketchup on your clothes, if you put your bag down to wipe off the goo an accomplice would grab your bag. They would then pass it on to another accomplice who had a false bottomed suitcase and in a few seconds your bag was gone without a trace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
