Message:: [QUOTE="Jesh, post: 642939, member: 16382"]Big update. The two morons who broke into the house ended up using my wives credit card at some major stores.  Excellent video was taken!!  Although the items may not be recovered, this is a good news. On the other hand, I taught my lab how to talk, so if it ever happens again, atleast we'll have a witness.  As for the gentlemen who mentioned the alarm, our detective who worked 25+ years in this field said it would be useless.  Yes, it would go off, make lots of noise and inform the police; he said by the time the security company actually CALLS the police, the people are long gone.  And this is very true. These guys were not walking around the house looking for stuff to take.  In each robbery in the area, they went toward the master bedroom, the master closets and bathroom then immediately left with a pillowcase full of items. NO ALARM WILL MAKE YOU SAFE.  NO CAMERAS WILL MAKE YOU SAFE.  Trust me, I've been through it and it makes 0 difference.  They SAW the cameras, the security stickers, the 110 pound lab, and it did NOT stop them from making the decision to break in. These are the same people who go into businesses and kill clerks for a cash register.  They have nothing to lose and they do NOT CARE. We as group of numismatics are educated individuals who enjoy life and have everything to live for: good friends, good family, a world to explore and everything contained on it. I am in no way looking for any sympathy, and the collection I had, although small since I just begun collecting, was very nice.  As you can see by the cert numbers, there were not many.  What is worst is my personal items were stolen, my home was violated, and some a-hole who does not give a damn about anything probably hawked the 1907 (for instance) for $100-$500. Yes, we all made mistakes.  Yes, it's gone.  Is it replaceable?  Of course.   Is my wife and myself alive?  YES![/QUOTE]
