That's terrible. I recall recently you posted an image of the 1902 IHC roll. Do you have a list of cert numbers?

darktone

I will get more info and cert numbers when I get home Sunday. Thanks Guy's.

csanotes

Sorry for what happened...hope you track them down and get the coins back...May want to check the subject line though...I was scratching my head for a second whether they were stole..or sold...no biggy...I'm sure you got bigger worries on your plate.

Raybo

Are you kidding?

Scumbags if you are not kidding!
I live in northern Illinois (a Flatlander or FIB) and will keep a lookout for any wierd coin sales!


I got your back,

Ray

How awful.

Mercury

Sorry for your loss.

leothelyon

Sorry to hear about your problems. A few years back a similar incident occured with a fellow collector. He too thought someone had taken a box of his coins only to find them behind a drawer in his dresser. It was odd, to say the least, that he really thought someone had stolen his coins. But if you have had some friends over, showing them your coins.........
Best of luck to you in getting your coins back.

illini420

wow, that's devastating news!!! I remember that 1902 roll you posted too and thought it was very cool. I'd be contacting every coin shop and pawn shop in the area to give them the heads up (with the consent of the authorities of course).

hope you get them back.

Very sad news. I am sorry that you are going through this, but please understand that there's a very good chance that you will recover your coins and the thiefs will be aprehended. I have personally witnessed burglary victims get their coins returned. Plus you have images of your coins that you should distribute to EVERY coin and pawn show in the region. Also, you Rolex watches have serial numbers. Do you have them recorded?

Here's an image of your roll of 1902 cents in BU. Coincidentally, I saw them today in this thread about copper.

blu62vette

Sorry to hear that! Are you home now or away?

Second thought dont answer that.... but hope someone catches the jerks being the idiots they are trying to pawn them off somewhere.

ChrisRx

Good point Illini... contact all coin and pawn shops immediately. Also check your local classifieds daily (craigslist, etc.)


Edited to also add:

I know it may not be nice to ponder but in most cases of home robberies (and even kidnappings) the perpetrator(s) are usually friends/family... just something to consider

If nobody already said -- contact NCIC asap:

darktone: double check with all upcoming local shows and be there. Also all coin stores as well.

Do NOT forget the antique stores that are local up to 40 miles away as well.

Hopefully, the police will be on top of things.

Here's hoping you will get everything back real soon.

cladking

Good luck. I hope you get them all back.

mikeyg

Sorry to hear about your trouble.Hope it ll works out for you.A dozen years ago someone broke into my house and took some expensive guitars.However I had records of the serial numbers (just like your rolex s) and the robbers were found,arrested and my guitars returned eventually.so the serial numbers may make all the difference.Keep us posted

soty27

I also reside in Southern Wisconsin. Please PM me if you get a chance with a specific list of coins that I can keep an eye out for-- I'm constantly at the local coin shops as well as purchasing collections from private parties.

darktone

Thanks everyone- I can't say too much because I don't know a whole lot. Will get a better list as soon as I can but I have a drive ahead of me.

frnklnlvr

Sorry to hear this darktone. I hope you recover your coins and jewelry and the thieves are caught.

gmherps13

I hope you get ALL your items back

Get all the cert #'s listed and I'll keep this stickied at the top for a while

Mistercoinman

Sorry for your lost and don't forget the flea markets. A lot of coins show up at flea markets!

Broadstruck

Sorry

You where out of town when the burglary took place?
Did you have them locked up in a safe?

MisterBungle

Sorry to hear about the theft.

Here's hoping you get all your property back
and the bastages get some serious lock up
time!!

This is terrible news.

kranky

That's terrible, darktone. I really hope you recover your coins.

ksteelheader

Mike, good luck getting your property back!!

Ken

Bummer sorry.

Trime

Darktone,

Very sorry to hear about the loss; wishing them a safe return.

Seems as though you are or were away.
For the rest of the board members; the best place for your valuable coins particularly when you are gone is in the safe deposit box

Cameonut

Sorry to hear of this unfortunate situation. I hope the family is fine and you get your property back.

I know this is a difficult time - when the dust settles I hope you will be kind enough to share some if the details if you can. Perhaps other board members can learn from what happened to you so they don't have the same experience.

LanLord

That completely sucks.

good luck getting everything back.

bonkrood

Sorry to hear about it, hope they catch the scum!

tahoe98

........sorry for your loss. i hope they catch the low-lives.

blueifalcon

I am so sorry to hear this! Stinking thieves...I hope all ends up well for you. Buy what you've said, do you already suspect someone? Good luck

MORGANHUNTER2

Not the way a person should be spending a holiday weekend pondering.

I hope you catch the thief(s) and cut off their hands, if they run- cut off the toes as well.


this just sucks.

lkeigwin

Very sad. My condolences. I hope to read about an arrest and recovery soon.
Lance.

Walmann

Let's hope they trying selling it as a single group, will increase your odds of recovery.

Hope you're made whole again and the scum caught.

CoinHusker

Sorry about your losses. Have you reported it to the Numismatic Crime Information Center ?

CarlWohlforth

Gee that is terrible! Getting robbed is a horrible feeling of violation. I've been there on a much much smaller scale and I sure felt insecure afterward. Good luck on your recovery efforts!

puritan9

I guess I will never understand how someone can do this to another person. Hope they catch the SOB and you get your property back.

astrorat

Best of luck to you. I hope you recover your coins quickly.

Good point, the above is worth reading again. Good luck.

Hope they get caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. >>



I agree. It seems to me the person who robbed you had specifics on what they wanted (knowing what you had already). I've come to this conclusion based on the fact that they took almost all libs, and that 1902 BU Indian roll seems kind of like the 'outkast' of the things taken. I would think most robbers who go into a house not knowing what to find would just grab whatever and get out as soon as possible, ya know?

Either way, I hope things turn out in your favor. I will keep my eyes and ears open for you.

tydye

That sucks! I hope they are recovered.

Darktone, I hope your coins are recovered soon.

Mike,

Very sorry to hear about that. I am in Cali, but I will keep a look out.
Let's hope for a full recovery.

We must be related in not understanding... I pray for the lost. They don't know what they do when they trespass against us. Maybe a GPS unit hooked up to a TAZER directly plugged into his ass would help him stay on track.

That sux

Tyler1924S

Mike,

I am very sorry to hear about the theft of your possessions. It must be a VERY startling moment the second you realize someone has broken into your home. You have my best wishes for getting your collectibles back, and any other family items I would assume the slimeball(s) took.

Best wishes for you and your family,

Tyler
