<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 132063, member: 5629&quot;]We live in a small town of around 5000 people here (including the &quot;outlying&quot; rural areas about 15 miles every way).&nbsp; I believe the nearest coin dealer is 200 miles away, I think.&nbsp; Everybody that I know of in town knows that I collect coins.&nbsp; I share some off and on with people (even the gold and silver).&nbsp; People pretty much know that I collect and research coins, and I am often asked daily by one person or another about a certain coin they&#039;ve been &quot;holding on to&quot; or that a relative has, etc. etc.&nbsp; People that I have run into around town have actually shown an interest in coins.&nbsp; I believe that it has to do with my openness about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really do not worry about someone coming in and stealing anything, really.&nbsp; In fact, there have been a number of times that my wife has &quot;accidentally&quot; left the front door wide open to come pick me up at work and run errands for a few hours.&nbsp; And if somebody did steal anything, I WOULD find out <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; People in small towns like to talk, and information travels fast.&nbsp; Then, I am sure there would be hell to pay once the culprit was identified within the community.</p><p><br /></p><p>Originally, I come from the tri-county area of Southern California (Orange/LA/Inland Empire), and it is <b>WAY</b> different there.&nbsp; Someone can break into your home and beat you up, and your neighbor will claim to have heard and seen nothing as they are sitting there filming it with their camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for <i>where</i> the coins actually are....I&#039;m in the middle of cataloging everything and weeding out duplicates, so they&#039;re sitting out in the open in my office inside of small USPS Priority boxes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; About $250 worth of silver sitting on the photography table, and my newest gold coin resting on top of one of the boxes on the holding table.&nbsp; Being paranoid is only gonna cause me stress which will shorten my life....and I have <b>WAAAAAAAAAY</b> too many coins to collect to have a short life![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
