<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cplradar, post: 7929534, member: 108985&quot;]The personal responsibility is only on the thieves.&nbsp; A crime was committed and there is only one victim.</p><p><br /></p><p>By viewing these crimes this way one is not only misplacing the blame, but they are ignoring the preponderance of such victims within the community.&nbsp; Theft of coins is commonplace and most collectors are likewise victimized by substantial coin thefts.&nbsp; It is rampant everywhere to great personal and community loss.&nbsp; By being disingenuous to one victim, it diminishes them all.&nbsp; Regardless of the safeguards coin collectors use, thefts continue to take place because it is condoned.&nbsp; <i>It is unreasonable and dishonest to believe that collectors can protect themselves if they are diligent enough and manly enough. </i> Aside from the fact that coin theft, every time, is a crime, it is not reasonable to expect collectors to be so relentlessly diligent.&nbsp; That is beyond human ability.&nbsp; And collecting is a hobby and a joy, not a dreaded burden.&nbsp; The protection of personal property is everyone&#039;s responsibility.&nbsp; It is not taken seriously enough, and the numbers bare that out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
