Coin collection gone

Well, he's certainly proven that he's a great actor, or a great "fair weather friend", actually, I guess both. When faced with a problem, he abandoned his morals (which had to be few and apparently meant nothing to him). He didn't just steal from a stranger to solve his problem, he stole from a friend. Someone that trusted him and had been a good friend to him. Has he admitted it, yet? Have the police found your property, yet? Please let us know the outcome. It's a horrible experience to have a "friend" turn on you, at least he should try to lessen his betrayal of you and help them get your stuff back.

I actually just got on here to put another update so the wife didn't know anything about what happened till he got arrested he brought my collection to his house he had his wife pawn 6 of my valuable coins so now she's in trouble I did get my other coins back that where still in there home the crappy part is she aint saying where she pawned them at so the police are trying to figure that out and of course they were my good coins and if they find them the only way i can get them back is i have to buy them back not too happy about that dont know how much thats gonna be

 

I’ll bet she didn’t go very far to pawn them. Police should be able to find them. You could call a few local shops and they will get the word out between them.

 

Wow.... Doesn't seem right that you have to buy back your own property.

 

You still own those coins. She didn’t sell them because she didn’t own them. Buyer didn’t buy them because he wasn’t dealing with the owner. Most places have to keep records. Very detailed records.

 

Yeah in Florida if stolen property is pawned the shop owner is not responsible all they do is tell you who pawned them and if you want it back you have to pay what they gave them and then it's on you to get your .money back it's kinda messed up

 

I am not in Florida but have been through a similar experience. If you locate your stolen property you file a police claim. If your claim is substantiated the police seize the property as evidence. The property will not be returned to you until after prosecution. (In my case 7 months)

 

That's crazy

 

What part? My nephew stole my property. I knew who did it in 5 seconds flat. I had documentation (Pictures, serial numbers, proof of purchase receipts.) It took me 3 phone calls to find the pawn shop he used.
I filed a formal complaint with our police and showed my evidence. They worked with the police in the state he sold the stuff. the property was seized, he was arrested. there was no trial. After doing a performance the cop called worthy of an Oscar they showed him the evidence. he plead guilty and was sentenced to 20 months. Which part is crazy? James

 

P.S. I forgot to add. When confronted he told the police he was selling the stuff for me! Claimed I was going broke and he was just trying to save me face. I had to show the cops i had over 30,000 in cash and receivables at the time. He on the other hand had his car in hock at a police impound lot and needed over a 1,000 to get it back. as I pointed out to them, why would I hock almost 10 grand in possessions for about 2,000 dollars.
In truth if he had not stolen my daughters video console and games, (plus her My little ponys). If he had not stolen my wife's black hills gold jewelry and the opal bracelet i got her for our 20 anniversary i would probably let it slide.

 

Nah. Thats definitely a go f himself offense. He vould have taken a salt shaker in my opinion and i would throw the book at him. Supposed to be family. Smh. Never would he strp near my family again. Blood rights revoked!

 

Don't mean to steal someone else's thread but I have always tried to consider people more important than possessions Kristine. Thing is, because of what he did I had to eventually move my daughters bedroom downstairs and switch it with my wife's studio because she said she couldn't sleep in that room anymore. That made me angrier than anything.

 

Exactly pitbulls and pistols can't identify and suspect

 

I know the feeling my wife is having a hard time knowing he was in our room and violated our personal space

 

I posted about my situation to just let people know to keep there head on a swivel and keep there guard up the stores I've read at the end of the day it's all the same,same emotions we have felt. I truly appreciate everyones post hearing how they delt with it definitely helps that's why I love CT I just want to get back to my regularly scheduled program

 

If you keep valuable coins at home, do not store them in your bedroom. That's the first place burglars search. Be creative and find more than one hiding place. Think attic or some other hard to find location. Don't make it easy for them.

 

If she refuses to say where she pawned them, she's probably an accomplice. I'm not sure i believe that she didn't know.

 

Ideally
The stolen property should be returned to the owner. the store can go after the Pawnee for damages.
IF she actually pawned the to a shop?? Start with the closest one to her house.

 

I say waterboard and get answers.

 

I agree. Find a small tight space to hide them so their big butt can't get to it.
Oh, don't forget the vicious Doberman at the front door.
