Do not have any contact with this guy. Having contact with someone you may have to testify against at a trial is not a good idea.
File a restraining order against him and let him violate it. Then it's back to jail for a totally separate offense.

(BTW- that 1924 Saint, although "common", is a beautiful coin! The obverse is 64/65 at least!)

Again, for the third time, "request an order of protection" and do not have any contact. Otherwise, you may find yourself on the wrong end of the law.

Sorry to hear of your issues Ant! I too have gone through a burglary of around $50K+ in coins, my case I never got anything back, nor was anyone caught. I also didn't own all the coins and was just starting out as a dealer in rare coins then, many were on consignment to me. At least the dealers all understood, and though it took a couple years I ended up paying back every dime owed to them. I was only 17 at the time, so a huge hit and almost turned me off coin dealing and collecting for ever. Glad I didn't let that happen.
Sure hope all turns out for you in the long run.

Westcoin thats terrible. I hate thieves. I probably am going for a restraining order monday. He left for florida today for 10 days. You can steal stuff from people and then go wherever you want in the country when some of my stuff is un accounted for. Whos to say he isn't bringing it with gim to sell out of state? Maybe a family member has it? I dont get our justice system.

Like you said, it makes me want to sell everything. The biggest pain is dealing with this headache. I've spent a ton of time with police, lawyers etc. plus the anxiety and worry. Thats the worse part

In most states, a person out on bail must notify, and receive approval from, their bondsman (or court) BEFORE leaving their home county or state of residence. A violation of this requirement can result in arrest and bond revocation.
Make sure he is following all the rules that were set down for him.
Make his life miserable and inconvenience him as much as possible.

 If he bonded out & left town he has created another problem for himself. I'd be on the phone to the bonding agent. |

Shouldn't the bonding agent be on the phone with the (alleged) thief?

How can I find out who the bonding agent is? Would I be given that info? Yes, I am going to do everything I can to make his life miserable. Starting with a restraining order tomorrow. I'm sure he will violate it and end up getting arrested. Like I said from the beginning, I feel sorry for his family

Sounds like things are going from Bad to worse for you Mate  This person has been charged with theft of your property, Is out on Bail and can freely move around the Country Probably disposing of your coins in the process and all you can do is apply for a restraining order.  This will probably end up in a plea bargaining situation and you MAY get some of your stuff back with this slime ball just getting a slap on the wrist. Don't fret about his family , they have known him longer than you and are probably "Aware" of his Character. Far too late now for the personalised baseball bat technique But make sure you Nail this scumbag as hard as you possibly can  |

Ant76 ... Glad to hear that you're on track about that restraining order or order of protection as it was called in my home state. Do get some info about the parameters, duration and conditions of the order. Forewarned is forearmed! You'll also want to know if the order can be extended and the procedure to get it modified in any way.
On another note, you are the victim. I humbly suggest that you totally refrain from making any comments or taking any action that would make it appear that you want to "get" the perpetrator. Certainly, your feelings are understandable, but to overtly express them in any public forum could work against you and possibly put you, the true victim here, on the defensive at some future date. All of us here empathize with your situation, and we'd certainly not want that to happen.
Note that your recent posts can be edited. ;-)

okay, you're NOT a coin dealer. What kind of business do you own? Why were your coins in your office? How did he gain access to the area where the coins were?
This entire story confuses me.
