<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 8058767, member: 43130&quot;]Well the Canadian police observed my police report for larceny and the seized the coins from the auctioneer. So there was some cooperation, as they honored the police report of theft in the U.S. I suspect they were waiting to see what happened in the courts before proceeding with the investigation, since (from what I was told by Det. Hackenbrook and my lawyer), if the auctioneer continued with the contestation, he would have to provide proof that he obtained them legally, which could mean his source(s) for buying these undeliverable mail lots. (Incidentally I had Canadian law on my side that stated “lost mail that was not Canadian has to be returned to the country of origin”). Additionally, as I stated before, the auctioneer would be opening himself up to prosecution if he contested. And even if he won the coins and I appealed in criminal court (which would’ve cost me minimum $10,000 according to my lawyer), I could’ve sued to hold him criminally liable in the theft and also sued him for my court costs.</p><p>Anyway, I don’t think they investigated any potential ring of theft since they waited 9 months for the court’s decision, and the auctioneer ended up not contesting at all beyond his initial threat to do so when Det. Hackenbrook seized them. (The Detective told me on the phone that when he seized the coins, the auctioneer put up a fuss and he told him, “Well, too f#{€!% bad for you, eh?”) LOL! And now that I’ve won, there is no chance that they’ll look into it anymore. So in the end the USPS Investigator rightly closed the case months ago for their purposes since there was never a real investigation. Maybe if I had had $4 Million in coins stolen/lost and then found at auction in another country, they would’ve looked a little harder. But $10,455?…. Nah. Small potatoes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
