<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2514688, member: 36230"]Thefts happen; well all know this, but what we don't know is that these particular coins were stolen, and no matter how much you may want to think otherwise, neither do you. Is there a chance they were stolen? Sure, but coins were made to be used/spent and that's exactly what most people see/use them for. In addition they were discovered at Walgreens, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that the person who spent them knew they were leaving money on the table, but simply found the need of something else to be more important. We simply don't know and because of this, to suggest to this young lady that she's likely in the possession of stolen goods is doing her a disservice.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a quick example, I used to know a fellow who, perhaps once a month or so, would take the day off to drive throughout the region's rural area hitting banks. Sometimes it wasn't worth his while, but others and over all, it very much was. Now, was everything he discovered actually stolen? Of course not... the sad reality is that most people either don't know or care what coins are or may be worth, and this is especially true in areas where it's not easy to find out what coins are worth or to liquidate them. They do what we would consider to be foolish things with them, and like it or not, this is much more common than robbing the neighbor for a Walgreens spending spree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
