<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 561175, member: 16948"]I have heard lots of horror stories from other dealers about how thieves get away with coins, and usually they have a partner which distracts the dealer. I know that I have tried to be even more diligent, especially when it comes to people looking at coins in my notebooks, which is what this guy was stealing. I also had some other coins stolen a few months ago, and I'm pretty sure I was distracted by someone else while another person took 4 of my certified error coins. It certainly is a terrible feeling knowing that someone ripped you off and got away with it. But I guess it comes with the territory of being a coin dealer.</p><p> </p><p>By the way, the latest on this guy is that he plead Not Guilty, his pretrial was set for last Monday but it was continued to later in April, and the D.A. said he most likely will plead out. I understand he has prior petty theft convictions, so I am curious what kind of plea he'll get. The D.A. said she'd let me know, so I will post the results when I find out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
