Dealer robbed at Indiana State Coin Show

Found this on rcc, perhaps someone can fix the web sites to come up properly:
We have suffered a robbery while at a show. The police have a few suspects
and I wanted the coin and ebay community to be on the lookout for the
following.
The coins stolen were all commems and the stand out coin that was stolen was
a 1915-S Panama Pacific Half Dollar in PCGS MS-67 worth about $8,750. It's
certification number was 50107542 and was in a fresh holder. Photo is HERE
http://store.aacoinco.com/Detail.bok?no=2240 A reward of $1,000.00 is
being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the
person responsible! The coins were stolen from the Indianapolis State Coin
Show on November 3rd 2007. Please contact me or the Indianapolis
Metropolitan Police Department @ 317-327-3811 and reference case number

It takes more than carrying a weapon....you better be well trained in pulling it, aiming it and shooting it with precision. Pulling and firing a weapon in a crowded bourse is risky business.
however one must be sure that a coin is really stolen at a show....sometimes a dealer makes an error and thinks a coin is missing, when he may have lost track of it or left it at his shop.... I have seen that happen...
...are you in Law Enforcement???
...just curious...

Not much to do in Michigan huh?
I think I could handle it. More importantly, I would hope it would be seen as a deterrent.
There's quite a difference and honestly if it's not a Robbery, the title of this thread should be changed to reflect what it actually is.

I have this picture in my mind of Mr. Michigan......it looks something like this....
<< <i>so which is it? a Robbery? or a theft?

The other thread calls it a robbery also, but there is no indication that is what happened. What's the definition difference?
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."

A theft (robbery) occurs by the hands of a robber (Thief) in the course of his crime (burglary). Someone got burglarized, robbed, thieved (is thieved a word ?) well someone got stole from by someone who stole. The one certainty is there is a villain and a victim.

Then a description of the villain would be helpful. Did he use a weapon?

This theft would probably be better characterized as larceny. It's an awful loss, for sure, but it doesn't incur the same trauma to the victim as a robbery would. Perhaps an IN lawyer can weigh in on the difference in penalties between robbery and larceny (or burglary, shoplifting, embezzlement, etc).
Edit: state crime occurred

What the hell does that mean?

LOL
I can say Pharmer is smarter than you think.
What he meant was that someone was more intent on correcting me than answering the question posed
<< <i>There are TWO "Joes" in this thread
I consider the other one, JOSEPH.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Bochi, I dunno what's going on.
Signed,
Joe the dweeb
Robery is a C Felony up to 8 years in prison.

No, but I am a fan of TV shows like "Cops", "World's scariest police chases" etc.
<< <i>well if it were death by hanging we wouldn't have the problems we have in our society. Petty crime wouldn't be petty, now would it ? >>
I once did a term paper on capital punishment and discovered that in England pickpocketing was once punished by public hanging,
a number of times when the crowd was gathering for the hanging pickpockets could be observed working the crowd.
I always thought that was rather ironic.
