Wow, amazing, the night of the storm Rod talks about, we had a chat about a couple of coins I had ordered from him. He explained that he had been broken into at the store and apologized for the delay in shipping. So he was robbed a second time after we talked. You can count on me to keep an eye out. Is the list of stolen goods available for us to peruse? i.e. ICCS numbers etc.

I just "cut and pasted" the letter from Rod and e-mailed it to my dealer in Halifax, namely Citadel Coins. I talked to Martin there and they will keep an eye out for the goods mentioned in the letter above.
It is not far fetched to imagine that "they" could try to fence the stuff here in Halifax, it is just a short ferry ride from Argentia to NS. Anyways we are looking out for the goods.

tell them, do not put it on NTV, , and try and contact other collector stores in the area and Mount pearl; as they may bring it to other stores as they try and off load it. If the story has hit the news already then I really doubt that the people will try and sell locally. St. john's is a small city. Put an add in the paper looking for coins and collectibles, not the same people of coarse. Criminals are not too bright. I know the area, and have purchased coins via ebay from a guy a couple of KM away from there. I know of a story (told to me this in august)where a somewhat famous musician in St. john's had all his instruments stolen and the person listed it for sale in the newspaper. Cops did nothing and he ended up buying it back from the freakin guy. good deal! Only in NFLD. |

 Very unfortunate this has happened to Rod. He's a well respected and great E-bay seller. These financially hard times we live in, we see more break and enter's and armed robberies so people can support their vices! Door cylinders are infact very easy to pry off with a set of vice grips. I've investigated hundreds of B/E's in the Metro Moncton area with this Modus Operanda. National statistics show that 90% of B/E's are unsolved, however, under these circumsatnces what's important is to get specific "identifier's" (marks/serial #'s) from the stolen item's as quickly as possible out to the knowledgeable public. Once that is done, it's usually only a matter of time until the stolen items surface. Very good chance we may be able to make head way with this. Sid, if you can contact Roddy and ask him to post pics on items stolen or even give us a description of 'em, it would be a major help! Glenn  |

@ glen,
obviously , you're more well equipped and experienced with this.. So I retract most of the gibberish I mentioned.... Any experiences I have like this, have been fixed by me.
I highly doubt the coins will re-surface anytime soon, and unless somebody comes forward , kiss' em good bye.
I bet it's a regular , frequent, customer that Rob already knows!
IMHO

i think this is actually disgusting.
thieves don't ever realize to word "sentimental"
about 30% of the value in my collection is from my grandpa and father, if someone ever even thought about taking them, I would personally ... I wont say it.
anyways I hope this scum gets caught and thrown in jail. what a disgrace.

I have sent a note also to Rod, telling him we will keep an eye out down this way if anything shows up.
But, it would be nice if we had a list of what was stolen.

...pretty SAD......
He wasnt to stealth about looking out the door with the flashlight in his hand & its almost like he knew he had the time to do it & where he wanted togo...
Hopefully someone ID's him from the footage & or is caught trying to sell the booty on eBay/kijiji or at another dealers store, coin show etc.
The internet has a bigger role than I ever though in catching criminals:

The victim of a break and enter that occurred on December 27th, 2012 contacted the police when she saw a posting on Kijiji to sell tickets to the upcoming Tragically Hip concert in Thunder Bay. The listing identified the row and seat number of the tickets which had already been reported as stolen to the police.
Police officers contacted the seller listed on the Kijiji posting and made arrangements to purchase the tickets. Two undercover police officers attend a North Court Street address that was provided by the seller to purchase the tickets. When the male produced the tickets to the undercover officers, he was arrested and taken into custody.
He has been charged with Possession of Stolen Property Under $5,000.00 and has been released to a future court date.
