<p>[QUOTE="bobbeth87, post: 1116455, member: 18369"]At our coin club meeting two weeks ago, I was a victim of theft. We have an auction after each meeting, and members can sell up to 10 lots. This night was particularly crowded, and my last 3 lots didn't fit on the table, so I put it on the chair next to the table. The chair was double stacked, so it was approximately the same hight as the table. My last 3 lots were a P&D set of Lincoln dollar coins, a BU roll of Ocean in View nickels, and a series 2006 Radar note ($1). </p><p><br /></p><p>After the meeting and before the auction, we give everyone 5 minutes to get one last look at the items before the bidding starts. My lots were there as we anounced the 5 minutes. About 10 minutes into the auction I happed to look over and those three lots were gone. I made a plea, but no one fessed up. Only club members were there, although there MAY have been a couple of children of club members. That is what really pi$$es me off about this.....it had to be a club member who did it (or the possibility of one of the 10-12 year old children...but I never saw them up there). At the end of the auction, the club members felt bad that something like this happened and several members through in a couple of bucks to meet my minimum bids (I think it was about $9.50 that they gave me). That was nice, but it doesn't make up for the bad feeling this gave me. I had much more expensive items on the table....luckily those weren't taken. Club members told me that this hadn't happened in the 10 years that they had been coming.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I hate thieves.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
