<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JDS, post: 767148, member: 20515&quot;]I had a close call to losing my collection today. Our house was broken into by some idiots who ended up stealing our Christmas presents and my laptop. Fortunately, they did not notice the two Silver Eagles and Maple Leafs, the Dansco Albums, the coin box, the Lincoln Chronicles. Everything, was in place. </p><p><br /></p><p>The bad news is that just when we thought our Christmas shopping was done, we get to start all over again. Also, it&#039;s going to cost an arm and a leg to fix the door they kicked in. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have to say, having an alarm was a good thing. It didn&#039;t prevent them from breaking in, but they didn&#039;t have a lot of time. The police made it to the scene within 15 minutes. Very nice police officers. I showed them my coin collection and one said, &quot;they didn&#039;t know what they were doing&quot;, referring to the crooks. The other looked at me and said, &quot;you need to lock those up&quot;. I told him, yes I do </p><p><br /></p><p>I have them hidden in the house now, but I am going to have to investigate the best way to secure my coins, whether it be an insurance policy, a safe or a safe deposit box. There are options to consider, but I definitely will have to do something. This is the second time in 2 1/2 years that we were burglarized. Last time, the police actually caught the people and we were able to watch them get cuffed and put in the police car. This time, I&#039;m afraid the bad guys got away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
