<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rooksmith, post: 7877088, member: 120230&quot;]So sorry to hear anbout that. Its like my worst nightmare come true. And your collection looks very valuable. There should be a registry for STOLEN coins that dealers can check before buying from suspicious customers. I would talk to every coin dealer in the area - and send an email to the ones that are within 300 miles. Also notify all the police departments. Very often theives store them close to their own home, and eventually get caught burglarizing another guy. Any self respecting police detective will get warrants to search the places of residence, and any storage (including public storage) nearby.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As a footnote, make a spreadsheet or document&nbsp; to share everything including the coin grading companies serial numbers. You can theoretically share such a document publicly, but try not to tell anyone your real name address and phone number to avoid scam artists and more thieves. I like to use google docs <a href="https://www.google.com/docs/about/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/docs/about/" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/docs/about/</a> because I know how their web doc shares work.</p><p><br /></p><p>I once tried to recover a stolen bicycle this way. I sent emails to every bike shop in my area. posted a photo with a link to a google docs photo of it. I also used a temporary phone number so people could leave voice mail messages about it (google voice works for that: <a href="https://voice.google.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://voice.google.com/" rel="nofollow">https://voice.google.com</a>) If the stolen item is very unique, the guys in the shop will remember it and probably be able to give a good description.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
