This is why I use a post office box for EVERYTHING. I don't ever use my home address. If someone is sending something with UPS or FedEx, I just give them the physical address of the post office, and my box number as a unit number.
Way to keep track of what has been listed as stolen. Serial numbers come in handy.
I saw the news of this recovery on an earlier post, but thank you for the further details.....Always glad to hear about recovered coins...Cheers, RickO

"I made clear that the victim was the GFRC customer as the two coins had been paid for and stolen during delivery to his home. The officer took the customer's contact information and promptly called this individual after wrapping up with me."
How is it that in this transaction that the victim is the customer. GFRC would have the liability until it is delivered and presumably his insurance would cover the customer. GFRC (or his insurance) is the victim.
If a package goes missing before delivery to me as a customer I expect the shipper to reimburse me and sort it out.
Once the buyer pays for the coins they belong to him, though the shipper is responsible for safe delivery.
If a guy has his home broken into, and his collection of coins are stolen, even if he is fully insured for the lost items, he is still considered the victim. if he is locked and loaded of course, he would be way less of a victim.
If that is correct (and it may well be), it might be advisable to acquire coins sent by mail on approval rather than to purchase them outright.

Rumor has it the usps employee will get remedial training and a supervisory position.
I always stop by at the shows and say hi to Julian, he has always been so friendly and will take the time out to talk coins with you,

I also make it a point to stop by and say hello to Julian at each show.
Julian has always been a class act.

I only see Julian once a year but he always has a smile on his face and loves to talk coins. It's cool he was able to find the coins.
