<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 642189, member: 4552"]I sure hate to see rogbberies of any kind and with coins they are usually just dumped either at a bank or flea market. Not sure if your familiar with the numerous flea markets in the Chicago area as well as pawn shops, coin stores, coin shows, etc. Remember there is a coin show every Sunday in the suburb area. Flea markets are booming with (borrowed) merchandise. Not sure when this robbery took place but if recently and your in the Northern area, you should have taken a fast run through the Allstate one in Rosemont on Saturday and/or Sunday. That Swaporama flea market in Melrose Park is rather famous for borrowed items too. </p><p>I've never seen a coin show dealer check numbers on slabs they are purchasing so you should probably try some of those coin shows. If you have that much in coins I'm sure your aware of the numerous coin shows and coin stores in the area. Also, if your in the Chicago area you must realize that the police just have a few other items of interest to look for. Considering the massive murder rate lately, drive by shooting craze, home invasions on the rise, well over 50,000 autos stolen per year in the Chi area alone. </p><p>Sorry to be pessimistic but just not a lot of crimes are being resolved lately.</p><p>Been 3 houses on my block alone robbed not long ago.
