Of the roughly 1,200 items reported stolen, 18 pieces were recovered after they were sold to a coin dealer at his shop in Allentown, Pa. No arrests have been made. The stolen items were not insured, according to Dolson." http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-co...eft.all.html Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 12:49 pm Gun safes are a cheap way to make you think your valuables are safe. They are not, nor do they claim to be. A cutting torch will zip them open like a can of tuna. You would think for that value of a collection he would have had more than one safe. Report this Post to the Staff

davec13 Pillar of the Community United States 757 Posts	Posted 04/06/2016 7:49 pm That's why you don't use a gun safe to store anything of value. I'd be willing to bet there was insurance, but a gun safe is usually able to be insured to around 20,000. My 6 sided jewelers safe is insurable to a million dollars because you could literally hold a cutting torch to it for days and it wouldn't harm it. Report this Post to the Staff
