<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cplradar, post: 8005332, member: 108985&quot;]If the discussion coin theft and how stolen coins are passed through the market place and how that can be prevent provokes someone, I doubt the problem is with the topic.&nbsp; It exposes a blind spot many have with regard to this very serious problem in the community.&nbsp;&nbsp; And that is exactly why it needs to be openly discussed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The name calling, insults, calling on your preferred deity etc however, is nonsense.</p><p><br /></p><p>One can be civil and it wouldn&#039;t hurt for a little soul searching on this matter.&nbsp; And the biggest players in this industry probably have the most soul searching to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nobody deserves to be robbed.&nbsp; Even the biggest buffoon with the most insecure practices doesn&#039;t deserve to be robbed.&nbsp; Theft is a criminal act and dealing in stolen merchandise is likewise a criminal act.&nbsp; All coin collectors and all coin dealers are targeted by the criminal element.&nbsp; It is a hidden cost of collecting and we all have a stake in a more secure trading network.</p><p><br /></p><p>We need to lower the barrier for identification, reporting and the return of stolen coins.&nbsp; We also need to teach and encourage better practices by collectors in keeping track of their inventory and receipts so that when coins are stolen, they can be individually identified.&nbsp; When a collection of coins is stolen and the police report says that a collection of coins is stolen, it doesn&#039;t do a darn thing to help identify the collection or track the individual coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
