I think the use of bollards (large metal or stone posts, placed in concrete on the perimeter of the structure) and other sturdy architectural elements may be needed to help prevent further use of vehicles to ram buildings.

Seems like something like that is just a natural cost of doing business if you're a coin/PM dealer. Though I really don't know, since I'm not one. Maybe it's more economical to go with an insurance policy than to invest in bollard installation or heavy vaults. Report this Post to the Staff
