<p>[QUOTE="easj3699, post: 1535231, member: 40095"]ive been going to my local flea market my entire life, theres an old man coin dealer there who when i started buying coin/bullion i always bought from him, every week for several years. he is just an awesome guy mid 80's wwII vet. either way, i started setting up at a different flea market and he would visit my father and i (i was setting up with my father), i would visit him. one weekend he called us to inform us he had a graded 1 oz gold eagle stolen. we kept an eye out for it at our flea market, checked ebay and around town. he has cameras because he had been stolen from before and one day when i visit him like usual (a few weeks after the theft) the people across from him apparently called the cops on me, had me shoved against a wall and hand cuffed (my only interaction with law enforcement was 13 years ago when i was 17 and got a speeding ticket). i had no idea what was happening, my girl friend was crying, the dealer gave me a puzzled look then i was walked outside. after answering questions for a few minutes the coin dealer comes out and tells the sheriff i wasn't the guy, so i realized what happened. come to find out he took a still photo from his video of the guy who stole the coin, looks identical to me minus different facial hair. that was the only way i knew it wasnt me in the photo, and he had a plain white t shirt which i dont own one. but ever since then, even though the dealer and myself have tried offering the people who called the police proof i wasn't the thief they harass me every time i went to see him after that incident. sooo sad to say i only get visits from him now days. so i wasn't ripped off or bought cleaned coins but because of some ignorant people i can't visit my favorite coin dealer who taught me most of what i know[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
