    That's a pretty good haul... 586 of the 20 franc coins. An inside job... surely in this day and age there is video surveillance everywhere??

    I would think there must be some evidence available... between tracking and camera surveillance it should narrow down the time and personnel presence. Cheers, RickO

    not unless they have the accountability chain that makes registered mail the best way to ship high dollar items. UPS employees likely know how to beat their own security measures. If it is a one time theft by the individual and he is smart with disposal he will likely not get caught. However, greed or further stupidity will do him in.

    With the extreme focus on Napoleon 3 coins I think we are looking for A Prussian
