<p>[QUOTE="Numiscent, post: 523256, member: 16300"]Great job Charmy. There's a good chance your actions stopped a repeat thief for good, and hopefully a few others by publicly sharing the consequences. From what I've heard, once someone gets away with stealing in a scenario like a coin show, they keep doing it over and over with less fear of the consequences as their pattern of success develops. Now he has a new, real fear that could involve going to jail over his silly habit. You may have stopped this guy dead in his tracks. </p><p><br /></p><p>This makes me wonder if it would be beneficial for dealers to have surveillance cameras set up over their tables. For a thief it's easy to keep track of several sets of eyes around you, but it might be much more discouraging if a camera was recording you. This might change the whole feel of a show though and keep honest people away who do not like the feeling of being watched.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
