Do you think coin show security will increase the way things are going? The large shows seem to be covered but the smaller shows leave me a little uneasy. I like to carry my own security in various forms, but some places they hold these shows are off limits. And I don't see any security guards around. If there are, they don't look too intimidating. I wouldn't want to see it hit the fan at the local shows around me. As PMs rise 2% a day, I think these places are going to become bigger targets for a "Joker" style hit out there. There's always been a lot of value but now that even the common stuff has gone up by multiples, I don't think it'll be lost on the criminal element. Everybody pay attention and stay safe out there.
A "Joker-style" hit? Nah. They're generally sneakier than that. At ANA 2022 (Chicago), some people got onto the bourse while dealers were setting up their tables. They simply took their flatbed dolly and found a display case filled with Rolexes and other valuables and flipped it upside down onto the flatbed and dumped some other junk on top of it like they were moving things back to their truck. They walked in and out past "security" and the sheriff's dept. outside with no problems. I recall it was a big stink at the time.
