Watch it!! It's a few giving the majority a bad name!!  It's a few getting worse and worse... Not all kids... Not even a large number... I hate that type of stereotype! |

tiberius123, I lost a silver dollar collection given to me by my grandmother years ago, so I know how you feel.
BTW - YOU aren't the one who files charges in a criminal case like this, so you have no choice in that matter. I hope you were able to provide as many details in your police report, as they will be sent to coin dealers, pawn shops, etc., over a wide area, and with luck if the perp tries to sell the coins, they will be recognized and the perp arrested. So you stand a fair chance of recovering some or all of the coins, unless s/he dumps them into a Coinstar machine and pockets the results.

Sorry for your loss. It is a collectors worst nightmare and unfortunately happens far too often. Thieves often target dealers coming to and leaving coin shows. Good luck hope you recover them, checking Craigslist and notifying coin shops and pawn shops in the Kansas City, Missouri area would be a good 1st step. There is a numismatic crime section of this forum that might get more page views if you placed your list there as well. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...FORUM_ID=149Edited by Joe2007

tiberus123, what a very unfortunate thing to have happened. You seem to be a kind person only wishing to have your coins returned.
I would be wishing a whole lot worse to the individual(s) responsible.
I wish you the very best in retrieving your collection.

No updates yet just been scouring through craigslist and calling every pawnshop and coin shop in the city with no luck. If only coins had tracking modules in them LOL.
HAHA you know of all the conspiricy theorist I have never heard of them accusing the government of that haha.
It will happen now that I mentioned it here just watch.
You heard it here first THE GOVERNMENT ARE PLACING TRACKING BEACONS IN YOUR MONEY!!

Sorry to hear about your loss. Sometimes people just flat out suck.  I'm still trying to figure out how to replace some of my stolen collection. Bleah. to CCF and I'm certain your experience here is a good one. |

Tiberius, echoing others' sentiment that I wish the circumstances were better, but and I hope we can be of help! Unfortunately, your wheats and other commons are *probably* gone forever. (I say "probably" because lots of petty thieves are also morons, and you never know when some idjit's going to walk into a pawn shop with your whole collection in a bag.) However, it appears you have some gorgeous photos of at least some of your coins--have you provided these to the police? It may be possible that someone will recognize them. |

Did you ask the investigator in charge of the case if they checked every establishment near the hotel for video tape? You'd think that is the first thing the cops would do but I wouldn't assume anything if it was my collection. I know I would visit those local businesses in person and at least ask.
