Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/31/2009 9:20 pm G'day & thankyou, we had a similar case where I live. Bloke worked for a freight company, and lifted anything he thought he could get away with. Never had much of a plan as to how to benefit from it, apparently, so when he was caught, 10 years worth of stolen goods were recovered. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff

Hummmm...they mean worth $425. It'd take 240 boxes to be $6k. Glad they busted the guy. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 09/01/2009 08:17 am There's the official $25 box of pennies that all us coin collectors and bankers know about - and then there's the box of pennies in some guy's closet that might be any size. That might account for the difference. Ken My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 09/02/2009 6:53 pm I just looked in my clostet, and there are more than 17 boxes of cents, that are not opened yet! That is $425.00. Then there aere the other boxes, like the quarter boxes, that have been filled with solid date rolls, of cents, 65 to a box. Still can't come up with $6000.00 dollars worth, and $2,40.00 in cash. He had to have had boxes of other denominations of coins. Now if there were half dollars in boxes, ay $500.00 to a box, or quarters, at$500.00 a box, etc, then maybe there might be $6000.00. BUT NOT 17 boxes of pennys! How long had this guty been 'doing his thing", before the "Fuzz", caught him? Nearly 25 years? Not only the Police department, were not on the ball, but the company he w"orked" for were mnot too bright! Dick Report this Post to the Staff
