I thought the owner and his staff were rude and the coins were overgraded and overpriced. But it's scary to think that a business so close to me was robbed at gunpoint. According to the news, the robber was dressed like a UPS delivery person. He arrived before the store opened. He was carrying a couple packages. Surveillance film shows the employee helping the robber with the packages before he pulled out a sawed off shotgun. He tied the employees hands with zip ties and made him lay on the ground. He was in the store for over an hour, taking his time, picking through the coins. According to the owner, the store has been in business since the early 1960s. It has been robbed four times since then--three of the times this year alone!!! A sure sign of the times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
