<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 693815, member: 4552"]The problem here is that many such robberies go unnoticed. No one publicizes things that happen all the time. And in some areas crimes are so common, it really takes something big to make the news. For example I know of seveal dealers that have been robbed on the way home from shows. Similarily collectors too have been followed and robbed on the way home. Just not news worthy. In the Chicago area there are over 50,000 autos stolen per year. The murder rate is usually in the hundreds but that is only what is reported. Home invasions are as common as going shopping for some criminals. Many such criminals know they will be back out on the streets in few hours if caught doing a robbery unless they robbed someone important. </p><p>Basically the crime rate is pending on where you live. I wouldn't be amazed at all if in some small town areas no one has been robbed after or before a coin show. I've been to small towns where people go to the store and leave their house doors open. Where I live those same doors have bars on them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
