[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 1761377, member: 20480"]Make a checklist, and don't leave for the show without checking it off . . . Top off fuel / check oil / tire pressure before loading vehicle to head for the show Money (small bills) Writing paper Pen / pencil Price guide(s) Coins Magnifier Showcase(s) & key(s) Lamp(s) Food / drinks, if needed I'm sorry if the following alarms you, or makes you insecure, but you need to consider that there are dishonest people out there . . . Load valuables into your vehicle last and unload valuables first. When you take coins out to let customers examine, handle just one customer at a time. If customer wants to look at more than one coin at a time, provide only what you are comfortable with keeping an eye on. Check correctness of coins going back into your case when customers are done looking at them. Lock your case if you leave your table. When leaving the show, keep your radar up. Look for odd behavior or circumstances. Don't assume anything is coincidental. Keep track of all vehicles around you on your way home. Know where police stations are between you and the show, and pull in if you believe you have been followed. Never leave your coins unattended in your vehicle, ever. Drive a circuitous route somewhere on the way home to easily determine if you are being followed. Best of luck at the show, make some money, buy more nice coins, have fun, and get to know more dealers. - Mike[/QUOTE]
