The big difference here is that they had been watching this guy since the Colorado show where he was also suspected, but could not be caught. He was traveling with the shows just so he could steal from them. kinda hard to deny that you weren't ripping off people when you are a coin show groupie.

It sounds like the thieves are putting some kind of "homing device" under the dealers cars, and are able to track them home, or back to the hotel, or wherever.

Or you just do it the old fashioned way, watch the dealer come out of the show and get into his car, then follow him. With the vast majority of dealers it isn't too hard to find out at least what city they live in and since most people drive the most direct route it makes them easy to follow. You can also follow them by being ahead of them as well for much of the trip. So you can follow awhile, and lead awhile etc. Tends to throw off suspicion that they are being followed. They don't consider that a vehicle ahead of them is following them.
