<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 326822, member: 8843&quot;]I am cautious about being followed, period, whether coin show, numismatic event, bank, or Walmart.&nbsp; It&#039;s always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings and not so zoned out on the routine that you don&#039;t pay attention to someone uninvited getting too close for too long.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hate to admit it but with the economy taking the dive as it is now, there will be more following, attempted robberies, etc.,&nbsp; and that&#039;s a fact of life.&nbsp; People are hoarding more silver and gold in preparation for the banks crashing and those who choose to &#039;take&#039; it rather than &#039;earn &amp; pay for it&#039; are gearing up for looting.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Be careful, stay safe, take your &#039;badges&#039; off when you leave the coin shows or clubs, don&#039;t make several trips to your car to drop off your &#039;buys&#039; - get one of those rolling cases, and ask for someone to walk out with you. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s unfortunate that some dealers have been tracked via GPS trackers stuck under their cars at shows - thieves watch them unload or just &#039;case the tables&#039; during the shows, then watch them walk out to their cars at the end of the day.&nbsp; Next day, the car gets tagged with a tracker.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I&#039;m at a show out of town and people ask me where I&#039;m from, sometimes they&#039;ll actually ask &#039;so how far is that, which highway&#039; .. I always answer &#039;well, it was an Xhour drive up but I&#039;m taking a detour on the way home for personal visit&#039; ... anything but say &quot;oh.. I just head out highwayx and usually stop after an hour for a nature call ...&#039;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s sad we can&#039;t be more trusting these days but these are the times.&nbsp; Friendly discretion for safety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
