Stolen coins

I only saw 4 listed - guess they don't recover too many

I've noticed that the state of Pennsylvania has been having auctions on Ebay pretty regularly as well.

No. Why didn't they return them to their owners!

$201.00 for that beautiful lot of numismatic treasures? I think the crooks may be operating on the wrong side of the property room.

What probably happened is that the original owners claimed insurance and when the property was recovered, it wouldn't be returned. The insurance people probably are cooperating and using it to repay the insurance premium paid out. My guess, anyway.

In that case the insurance people are going to be very happy.

I would guess these items were never claimed by the rightful owners. Our local sheriff auctions recovered property once a year and there are tons of items from mink coats to baseball bats. Many many bicycles,lawn mowers and power tools.Even if you file a report the police probably will never link your report to recovered items.

If they don't do the link, how do they know they're stolen? If the police don't even try to return the good to the rightful owners, do we only fill out a report to give them paperwork to fill out? If a rare coin was stolen from me, the insurance paid out to me, the coin recovered, I would want to know, I would want the coin back, and I would be happy to give the insurance company their money back.
