That is absolutely great news! And to think I got sucked into arguing about someone else's ebay transaction when I could have pulled up this thread for a smile instead.
Great to hear, congrats, and look forward to hearing more when you can.
Wow, that is great! Fantastic news! I'm so happy to hear that.
Now, does getting them back make you think you should/will/want/might sell any of them? In other words now that the coins have been recovered will your collecting habits change?
From what I have seen everything is okay coin wise but it's all being held as evidence. No coins were cracked out. I hope I can get things back quick. Some jewelry is missing and so is the cash but 95% of things are there.
Was Brett Favre involved in this heist at all? CONGRAT"S on the coins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MJ
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Now that is awesome news! It seemed like too much time had passed since the heist, but it's good to see things worked out. I recommend that the crooks be sentenced to swallow 5 rolls of badly corroded zinc cents as punishment, along with some sort of prison time.
Oh wow, I hope you bought your lotto ticket for tonight because you got very very very very lucky... I thought those were gone forever for sure!!!!! Congrats!!!!!
First, Lake Placid in 1980, now this. Miracles CAN happen! Congratulations! And I concur with 'put them in a safer place...but I'll bet you don't have to be told that now.
Great news........now next time you come to VA Bch let me know I've got a nice camper in Sandbrige I'd like to rent out to you. Better then staying in a hotel at the ocean front.

Remember it's not how you pick your nose that matters, it's where you put the boogers.
Thanks everyone! I'll give details as soon as I can but it sounds like the burglers had the stuff stold from them the night after it happened and the second set of crooks just sat on it but slipped up trying to sell it last week and I got wind of it and tracked them down and alerted the cops.
That's great news Mike. Thieves always end up taking more than the goods. I'm glad you got your coins back, but even more happy they caught the buttheads.

I love a happy ending. Make sure to keep us posted on the criminal prosecution. That will make it even happier.

I say forego the trial and just shoot the thief in the head.
<< <i>Can you say what lead up to this or is there an investigation/case pending? >>
I can't really say until I get an okay from the cops. Some of the crooks are still on the loose.

And a "job well done" to those who helped track them down.
The good guys finally win one!!!!!!
