<p>[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1202950, member: 22585"]Last year I had asked him if he had ever been robbed in the 30 years he has been there. He said no, and boy was I surprised. There is absolutely no security at his shop. I kid you not, there are old whitman albums (the blue ones) stacked 6' high behind most of counters and 3 books deep. The sheer amount of coins he has is shocking. This isn't including all of the gold and insane amount of jewelry. The shop is in a prime target area because of the quick retreat thugs can make back into Detroit. It's right near the border. We were constantly talking about why he should move north. The last time I was in there, a couple of meth cookers where trying to sell jewelry. How did I know? I had to leave the store because the smell was sinus-burning, and eye-watering. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I can't express how relieved I am that they are not hurt.
