<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 19794207, member: 10461&quot;]I had some early dated late medieval coins and a lovely ANACS MS61 PL gold dollar get stolen in my &quot;dealer&quot; days, though I was set up in an antique mall and not always there.&nbsp; The antique mall staff had keys to my case and they showed and sold my inventory for me, then took their monthly cut and gave me a check.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It was an inside job. No cameras there at the time, though, and when the cops came to fingerprint my cases, I told them not to bother- I had already cleaned all the glass and wiped them down before I discovered the theft.&nbsp; I cleared the rest of my inventory out of that place the very same night.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately I could never have proven anything, though I had a solid suspicion of who took the coins from my case.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if the antique mall owners were in on it or not.&nbsp; One of their employees was the thief, I am 90% sure.&nbsp; And I was pretty sure I knew which one.&nbsp; But there wasn&#039;t much I could realistically do to prove my case.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lesson learned- obviously one never wants to put one&#039;s inventory out in a third-party vendor situation like that unless you&#039;ve got cameras on it 24/7.&nbsp; This was in the early 2000s, though, when installing such a system of my own would have been cost prohibitive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
