Careful Who You Tell About Your Bullion

His biggest mistake was "Trusting the Police"! Is there REALLY anyone out there any more that would let the "Police" in their home w/o even a question? And he had $750,000 of Silver in his home?

The "Police" come to your door, the 1st question is? "Do you have a warrent?" and "Why are you here?"

If no warrent then you ask them to wait while you call the local Police and see if they know why there are Uniformed Officers with guns at your front door. If you decide to talk to them,(which I would not advise w/o a lawyer), ask them to step back out/off to their vehicle and go to them.

Not sure about where YOU live but here the "Police" serve two functions: to raise money for the City/County by tickets issued and to run their personial errands with Police vehicles using tax payers gas!

It's not a matter of "trusting the police", after all, your own advice is to call the police.

The problem is "trusting the packaging". Whether you trust anyone in a policeman costume, or any coin in a piece of plastic with a name and a grade on it, you're leaving youself wide open for problems.

What the HELLOW just happend just made a BIG post picked spell check and was bounced back to the forum with my post gone? Not typing all that again.

A wise writer once said....

"Happiness is a hermit that lives on a hill and speaks to no one. Joy is the money he buries in his yard and forgets where it is. He dies, and all the neighbors of the world come searching. Finding nothing, but at least they had a little day dream."

the thing that bugs me is he said they were dressed as cops and one thing wouldn't you see they where not in a cop car. Also wouldn't you have a gun on you at all times if you had that much in your house or at least a bunch of security cameras in your house and surrounding property just incase any one broke in your house. I feel bad for the person as thats a crap load of money he invested and it turned out good for him but he should have at least had something security wise or a gun on him at all times.

True, but.....most cops will park down the block or out of sight so they get the "drop" on you! Also, many police have a "ride-a-long" or sometimes a parol officer or explored so they may be in uniform but not armed.

Now you are 100% correct that someone w/that much to lose should have a camera system or what have you, but cameras are only good for looking back or if they are being monitored. A panic button would have been a good idea linked into a home security system, but its clear this guy thought he had found the cheap way to store his silver!

How about dogs, weapons, an security cameras, you would have to be a real professional to overcome all these odds at my place, plus find my secret stash in a small time frame, as I have five (loud) dogs, and plenty of good neighbors all watching out for each other. Only problem I have ever had with theft in the 4 years where I live, was a punk 16 year old kid who broke into a few cars one night, and of course got caught the next day. Plus, it will be many years before I have enough of anything, to make it worth a crooks time an effort, lol....

Obviously, the fake cop thing could catch anyone off guard, but knowing about it will at least make us all think twice about letting a supposed cop into our home, without 100% guarantee that he/she is who he/she says they are, with proper warrant paper work, and a confirmed local call first to your local department as mentioned earlier....

When I meet someone new who I may take a liking to, my instinct is to wanna help them understand the value of precious medals as I have a real giving non greedy nature (golden rule you know), or take an interest in it, but is it really worth to much info getting out about your personal bus, which could come back to haunt you one day?

I will just be real selective who I talk about the subject with in future....
