oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 8:06 pm How often do coin thieves get caught? Most, some or very little of the time? I can see that trying to sell valuable stolen coins is problematic, given that the market is rather small. This is a good thing, of course. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 11:58 pm You might ask that of Detective Daniel Rosario of the Worcester Police Dept. After having been forwarded my 'file' by the FBI he apparently accepted the alibi of the thief that she was my ex wife and had been awarded the coins she was selling on ebay by a judge in a divorce. Just for the record I have no ex wife Nor do I have any of my stolen coins ........ All thanks to Det. Daniel (Clouseau) Rosario of the Worcester PD ! Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5176 Posts	Posted 06/16/2016 7:51 pm Darn, and here I was hoping that some country finally simplified the rules for buying their old coins. (Simplified to the collector's side, that is - after all, "explicitly disallowed, and get back any that we find" was probably simpler than whatever was there previously.) But no, apparently it's just some lucky guy getting back some coins that were stolen from them. No help with how I'm afraid to buy any old coins when I visit another country because the current laws would probably make me a smuggler even if the coins are common and worth hardly any money. (I had to literally smuggle the 19th century Bulgarian coins I bought in Veliko Tarnovo inside a bag full of regular Bulgarian money.) Report this Post to the Staff
