Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 547937, member: 4552"]Don't take it so personal. And even if they know you that makes little difference. Many, many people have been robbed by relatives, friends, neighbors and even wives and/or husbands. So if your not one of those, imagine how dealers feel since they too have all of the above to worry about. At one flea market several coin dealers have stopped selling there due to all the theft. In one instance some kids ran off with an entire tray of coins. What could he do, leave his table alone and chase them? It would be all empty when he returned. At coin shows almost all dealers have those glass enclosed cases for coins. And even then, many deveople wings. And just because you have been doing buisness with someone for a long time does not make you a saint. At another flea market a seller there has a lot of coins on his table. One individual that has been buying coins from him for many years was finally caught by that seller pocketing some coins. That seller was warned by other customers for a long time but he failed to believe that such a good customer would steal. One of my neighbors had a bunch of Gold coins stolen by his grandson. They were sold off for drugs. So what I mean is if your in buisness to make a living selling anything, you have to protect your investment. No one is beyond the possibility of theft. Isn't it better to be safe than sorry?[/QUOTE]
