[QUOTE="zaneman, post: 389623, member: 3970"]I don't think you can ever be too cautious in the coin business. There have been dealers followed home and executed. Recently a dealer who worked out of his home came home, there were two burgulars in his house, they maced him, held him at gun point, and forced him to open the safes. Fortunately his wife was in the car, and didn't go into the garage with him. She went and got the police. Another dealer was followed into his shop after a show, was handcuffed and shot in the head. I talked to another dealer who robbed, was shot 5 times, and fortunately killed the robber and managed to survive. I have had reputable people tell me about people dropping a baby to create a diversion, nails being put in tires so that tires go flat a couple miles after leaving a show, and many other things. Chris Napolitano from Summit RC was robbed in front of the Peabody (I think it was the peabody hotel anyway) hotel in Florida right in public to the tune of several million dollars. You truly can never be too careful in the business, and I certainly do not fault anyone for having mantraps in their shop, as well as carrying a sidearm. Just my two cents.[/QUOTE]
