[QUOTE="clembo, post: 280526, member: 8033"][b]People get killed for money[/b] That pretty much sums it up I'm afraid. Don't know where you live but bank robberies DO happen and bank robbers can be stupid enough to call ahead. In my neck of the woods we recently had a guy rob a branch at a Meijer store because he needed $2000. Seriously, that's what the note said and that's all he wanted! Now if you have a coin collection worth $50,000 and someone calls you up out of the blue to look at a Morgan Dollar that you put on ebay do you just want them in your home? Not me. I sold a collection for a friend some years back and had such a request. I checked the guy out to high heaven before I would meet with him in person. Now we're good friends, he has 10 times as much money as I do and USED TO WORK WITH MY SISTER to boot. I didn't know any of this at the time and took the proper precautions. Paranoid? NO. Just being safe so it doesn't hit the news when a mother of three gets killed.[/QUOTE]
