<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Exchequer, post: 915704, member: 21087&quot;]More dealers should press theft charges than what is happening, because pressing charges does not automatically mean you have to go to court.&nbsp; **Most** criminal cases don&#039;t make it as far as a court trial. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The criminal is usually given a plea offer. The victim dealer communicates with the District Attorney by consenting to this plea offer, or not. If the plea is taken by the criminal, no court appearance is required of the victim.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If for some reason the case must be taken to trial or dropped, then the victim can communicate to the DA that they do not want to appear in court, and the charges will usually be dropped (uncooperative victims are not good for the DA at a trial). At this point, the dealer usually has his/her coins back anyway.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, Charmy, convince your dealer friends to at least initially insist on pressing charges. :hammer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
