purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1489 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 9:30 pm Wow, that is a big haul. Surprising you wouldn't travel in a more secure way. About 250k liquid + banknotes. Hope the find them. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 10:31 pm I'm wondering if the thieves got lucky or if he was followed from the show. Kingston is three hours from Montreal and that seems like a long time to follow somebody. Report this Post to the Staff

That is a lot to just leave in a car for any time. I hope they are found and most likely new what that person had on them. Highly doubtful that this was random luck. Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54172 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 07:01 am When are dealers going to learn they can't stop on the way (to/from anywhere) and leave their vehicle unwatched for security?

Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1589 Posts	Posted 11/18/2023 12:32 pm I suspect he was spotted at, and followed from the Nuphilex Coin & Stamp show in Montreal, as this "type" of theft has occurred many times before. The amount coins, gold, bank notes and cash would certainly be an incentive. I wonder how insurance would apply (or not) in an situation like this?
