The lowlife apparently is going around town spending it.

Curious. If he could prove that the $50 was his and that it had been stolen, would the bank then be in possession of stolen goods and be forced to forfeit it to the police? And did the collector knowingly purchase a stolen item from the bank?

Yes I suspect that would be difficult to show ownership of the note but for the sake of discussion let's assume he could prove it.

Or, are there special laws governing stolen banknotes and coins? I suppose at the root of that question would be the notion of banknotes as tangible property.

That's a fairly distinctive looking bill, being orange and all, you'd think someone remembers who passed it and maybe there's security video of them.

He kept a meticulous log of his collection. For the sake of argument he does proves it is his and the bank has it, wouldn't they say it is property of the crown?

Trust me, the cops don;t care.....do you think they are going to stop catching speeders and actually do some detective work? And the prosecutors won't look at it, unless they have a 99.9% chance of conviction, otherwise they may tarnish their reputations with an acquittal.

It's part of the war on hard currency by our governments, that began with going off the gold standard and introducing inflation into our money supply.

Its just stupid why people do stuff like this, and insurance and cops dont help. I fell bad for him. I'mkinda starting to get worried to, it can happen to anyone of us, but what do you do after it happens, start from scratch or stop altogether.

IMHO, this is a most unfair statement to make. While I was not a cop, I did work in the criminal justice system. As such, I had routine contact with officers in many departments and at many levels.

Police officers have to ideally, in the course of their work, display objectivity in their demeanor. Being objective, deductive and the like can easily give one the appearance of being uncaring. Maintaining objectivity in the face of what officers daily encounter is no easy task. Consider too, that officers are challenged to walk this emotional tightrope in both their professional and their personal lives. No easy task, that, in the face of often accusatory and angry victims; this, not to mention the revolving door judicial system that all too often bows to repeat offenders.

Of course, there are cops that don't care, as you say, but such a patently unfair claim can target any group of professionals who have specialized duties to perform. In the course of my work, contacting police officers, I found that the great majority of police officers did care and often went above and beyond their call of duty to address the needs of victims.

One simple case in point that I recall was ... One city cop I knew used to carry a roll of nickels in his pocket. Rather than issue a parking citation, he'd plug a meter. The local merchants loved that guy. So, cops don't care?

Everyone hates cops until you need one. Then all a sudden they are the nicest guys.

I do feel for him but it brings to mind the less people know the better about ones collection the bette. I know we are all collectors here but do we really know if there are some shady people here that only want to take advantage. Not to hard to find people (names addresses etc.) through the internet. Man I hate to say that but in this world all is possible...just listen to what I call the World of Bad News on TV. Its a shame because there are many good people in this world.

I just love the story of the cop with the roll of nickels. In today's world he'd be fired and accused of preventing potential revenue from going to the city.

Which leads to a dilemma. We want more collectors in the hobby, and we want more young collectors....but don't tell anyone you collect coins, especially young people who might talk too much or to the wrong people.
