<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TradingGreen, post: 2514230, member: 75262&quot;]Its pretty funny that we have posts here all the time about checking your change and searching rolls.&nbsp; Many of you search 100&#039;s of rolls a month if not more looking for the 1 or 2 miscellaneous scarce coins.&nbsp; Here is a situation where a large number of walkers show up at one place all together and a few of you think its no big deal. </p><p>Even with the belief that some little old widow doesn&#039;t know that the coins her husband of 50 years collected were actually worth money.&nbsp;&nbsp; OMG.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay so there are some old people who suffer from dementia.&nbsp; There are some husbands that probably hide their purchases from their spouses.&nbsp; There are some kids that inherit coins and don&#039;t care about them.&nbsp; We can make up a whole lot of excuses of why these coins appeared.&nbsp; But..... </p><p><br /></p><p>Every month you can read articles in Coin World or the Bank Note Reporter where people are reporting thefts of collections.&nbsp; They&#039;re stolen from cars, homes and dealers and sometimes with tragic results.&nbsp; Sometimes you can read about the items being found by other observant dealers and arrests being made.&nbsp; Stopping in at the local police department is not painful, its not going to get you in trouble, its not saying you&#039;re going to &quot;lose&quot; your find.&nbsp; You&#039;ll get a pat of the back and a thank you for coming in.&nbsp; You&#039;ll get the self satisfaction of attempting to do what is right.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone steals my collection I sure as heck hope that someone comes forward if they see my items in a store and not accuse my wife of 40 years for selling my large cent collection because she doesn&#039;t know their worth money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Danielle you were observant.&nbsp; I would have done the same thing as you.&nbsp; But I would have taken one further step.&nbsp; If no reports have been filed you can enjoy the find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
