[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 5593741, member: 84905"]I suffered a coin theft in 2003 in London. The BNTA put out an "Early Warning Report" to dealers and I recorded the coins with various institutions. However, that really came to nothing. I was lucky in the sense that I got some coins back shortly after the theft, when A couple offered the coins to a London coin dealer. The coin dealer was suspicious, kept the coins and informed the police. I got another group back almost exactly 10 years after the theft, when a person from Marocco tried to sell them in an auction in Paris. I noticed the coins and informed the auction house. The prospective seller agreed to hand them over to me. However, some of the coins are lost. Some are listed here: [URL='https://www.colleconline.com/de/collection-items/4457/monnaie-collection-of-stolen-vandal-coins']Collection of stolen vandal coins : Münzen (colleconline.com)[/URL] Since the theft, I keep the bulk of my coins in a bank vault.[/QUOTE]
