"The coins, taken March 18 from the FedEx facility on Commonwealth Avenue, were valued at $240,939.40, the arrest report says. Latent-print analysis of a pawn transaction form later identified Jennifer Meria Owens as a suspect, the report says."

Don't all pawn shops require ID and pay with checks not cash for the paper trail?

"...admitted she sold the coins, the report states; she told investigators a co-defendant, identified as her husband, Victor Lagrane Owens Sr., had given her the coins and asked her to change shipping labels and send packages to an alternate address. She later told JSO she believed the company named on the paperwork, Logistive Delivery LLC, was part of a scam, the report says."

So after the coins were stolen from packages they generated new labels to confuse FedEx and law enforcement in the inevitable investigation?

This is confusing. Wouldn't the plan have been to move the coins @ Fedex from one package to another to the alternative site? Instead FedEx employee steals coins, removes them from location, THEN asks wife to put them in another package to then ship to alternative location for receipt by husband??

How are such shipments typically insured?

Hugh Wood, "Ship and Insure" or similar plan.

Maybe they just generated a new label and stuck it over the old label on the original package ?
