Suggestion, those that attended Coinfest and looked at Julian's inventory should jot down what they remember as well and PM the information to Julian to help him build his list.

Julian,

My sincerest apologies. Mitch Spivach posted your original posting on CCE. I followed it up with a link to your inventory from your webpage:

Don't know how accurate of a list it is... Although I'm sure some of the pieces listed were among those taken.

ScarsdaleCoin

As you are aware Julian Leidman, a fellow coin dealer, was a victim of a robbery Sunday upon driving home from Coinfest.

Laura Sperber and I are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for this robbery.

We will expand this post with additional information and details as they become known.

CoinRaritiesOnline

Julian:

If you think you may have had a tracking device placed on your car, I wonder if the garage security tapes from the Hilton Garage would be of help in finding clues. I don't know how long they keep those tapes, but you should make sure the investigators follow that up ASAP.

Also, try to remember anyone out of place who seemed to be loitering near your table at the show.

I hope for the safe return of all those coins.

Best-
DW

BillyKingsley

Oh man, I am really sorry to hear of that. I hope they catch the criminals and return your coins!

Longacre

There is only one driveway to get out of the Hilton, and essentially only one way to get to I-95. There are also lots of traffic cams along that stretch of the highway because of the conjestion. If Julian was being followed, perhaps there is a way to piece together the various tapes and see what car seems to appear near him throughout the journey. I'm no detective, but it is just a thought.

mommam17

Longacre- Yes, the highway has cameras that might help, if they were following him. Hopefully, they`ll look into this.

moonshine

yes, definitely sounds like he was being followed. A random person wouldn't know there were coins in there. Maybe they can get license number of several potential 'followers' from the webcams.

MORGANHUNTER2

EVERBODY- check CRAIGSLIST EVERYDAY in the collectibles pull up coins and see what is offered- you will be surprised who is selling for a quick flip!

start watching ebay in a few weeks- somewhat the best time to dump is when it looks like things are cooling off for the crook..

jessewvu

Would PCGS or NGC take that list and look for several of those coins coming in on one submission that fit those descriptions?

Mar327

Julian, I'm so sorry for what happened. Was fingerprinting done on your car? Since they seemed to be professionals, I'd suspect gloves were worn, but sometimes they make really stupid mistakes. Let's hope they make a big one very soon.
Will also pass the list out.

WoodenJefferson

The cameras are a good idea and need to be looked into, but I don’t think the State of New Jersey is going to take the time nor the expense to research this venue in a Grand Larceny (the perps know this) Now, had there been armed robbery, injury to a person, then yes, the DA would be obliged to take every avenue available to solve the crime. Unless someone knows insiders to the legal process in the state, county or city it happened in, don’t hold your breath with an investigation.

I think Julian is smart enough to know all this, but keep the suggestions and ideas coming in and spread the word. If this information gets blanketed across the area and outwards, there is a chance of recovery.

Note: A private investigator can obtain all this information on behalf of the client.

tmoneyeagles

I started a thread on Coinhood, hopefully that will help, and maybe somebody can start a thread on Cointalk as well. Anything to help a fellow member

Damn !!!

Coinosaurus

Thank God Julian is OK.

I hope we can put the collective power of the forum to work and get as many eyes as possible looking for these coins.

Julian I am certainly glad that you are OK. This was a classless act and I hope every one of your coins are recovered.

Sorry to hear the bad news I've posted a thread on CoinSpace.com we'll be on the look out as well.
Leidman inventory notice

Coxe

Was the 1892-O BM Proof Morgan among the coins? If so, I believe I attributed it as a VAM-10, though that should hardly be necessary for identification.

Julian had such a broad inventory that assuredly something will be identified as the material surfaces. The disparate nature of the inventory also means it wasn't a contracted heist for a collector. Serial numbers of the notes would be very useful. They would stand out as the easiest to identify as long as that information is available. I would suggest not listing them on a very public place though, but that is a tough judgment call to make.

Hope for all the best in the recovery. I have no doubt that some of this will be located. This is not like the du Pont coins that hid for a long time.

DorkGirl

But very glad you are OK!

Stuart

Julian: I wish you well, hope that you are alright, and am very sorry to hear that you have been the victim of this crime.

Wolf359

Was the 1921-D that was engraved as one of the first struck stolen?

Julian

<< <i>Was the 1921-D that was engraved as one of the first struck stolen? >>



Yes.

Wolf359

Well, I know that one if I see it! I hate thieves.

NitroCruiser

Was anyone at the show taking a "greater than normal interest" in a wide variety of your inventory? If their were cameras at the show itself, you should see if you could get a copy of those. The parking lot too. If you could pin point someone at your table and near your vehicle, that would be a good place to start. I believe you were tailed, they knew what you had and took the effort. Best of luck recovering it.

Fountainhead

Julian should save those details for the police, I guess. Anyone with such info can contact Julian by PM, or contact the police themselves.

OregonCityGold

Oh, man! You can't hide coins like that forever.

BXBOY143

SERIOUSLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE!!

BigRick

Was this an actual robbery or a burglary of the vehicle? The former would get more police attention.

PQpeace

Hi Julian,
Do you have a list of peace dollars that were taken ?
I will keep my eyes open for those,
Larry

coinkid855

Julian,



I just had an idea about how you could POSSIBLY get your coins back. I know that you said a laptop was stolen. Did you have your email passwords saved on that computer? If so, the perpertrator might be logging in to your email to cause some ruckus. What you should do is download a program such as Win Spy which I am told with you can send a keylogger as an .exe, .ppt. or .xls file. If the crook opens it up, I believe it will simply install the software onto their (your) computer. Then, if they go log into their Facebook or something, you've got them! You should just send them an email as if you were another dealer, and label it something that they might want to open.


PM me Julian if you might want to try it out. I can probably help if you wanted to try.

On the insurance side of this debacle, unfortunately there is a fair amount of 'bad' case law on the 'unattended vehicle' issue. Most policies will contain some type of exclusion from coverage for a loss that occurs either:
-while in an unattended vehicle, or
-while in a vehicle not occupied by property owner or one of his employees.

One of the better known cases involved a theft claim filed by the infamous Thomas Noe. The reported case is Noe v. Homestead, 173 F.3d 581. There are several other cases discussing the same point. If Julian needs an evaluation of the language within his particular policy I'm sure there is no shortage of forum lawyers, myself included, who would be willing to give him a coverage opinion.
