<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 6386488, member: 93702&quot;]True - you have a great collection... however I do not think we&#039;re talking about an educated &quot;coin thief&quot; here.. but the general fear, as I understand it, is word getting around in our local area (through friends or whatnot) that one of us has valuable coins or collectables in our home. So a &quot;smash and grab&quot; thief may act on this information.. and probably have no idea what the get - they see silver or gold... and sell at bulk at pennies on the dollar. May take years and pass through many hands before you were to see a stolen coin on eBay, or auction. etc... and the seller may have no idea that they were stolen at some point. Your chance of retrieval is minimal.</p><p>I keep my coins at home .. I do not have very valuable coins at all so do not worry about it.</p><p>---</p><p>I like Jeanne Moos - a (sort of) reporter for CNN. I say &quot;sort of&quot; with no disrespect .. she usually reports on fun little takes on society that she has a great knack of communicating. Sort of like the way Andy Rooney did for decades on 60 Minutes.</p><p>I remember her doing &quot;man on the street&quot; interviews during the Stock Market crash of 2007... first few guys she talked to were ready to jump off a ledge... it was dire.. the end! One guy, very well dressed and groomed, smiling and just a jolly guy,&nbsp; just chuckled and said &quot;I was broke yesterday and I&#039;m broke today... I&#039;m always good - how are you, I hope you are OK?&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure he lost nothing that time - but you got the impression he had been up and down .. Yet he was more concerned about others..</p><p>Roll with it! Life is great!!</p><p>What a star. I&#039;ll never forget that guy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
