If they can tie these three to the robbery I hope the judge throws away the key!

Were these two pieces taken in the robbery of Julian's friend?

O.K.
I see they were.

Good possibility that these thieves will be prosecuted under the New York persistent felon laws, that will provide a mandatory life sentence if convicted. They could even be prosecuted at the Federal level, since interstate transportation of stolen goods taken in the commission of a robbery is a Federal felony.

I funny as this is how these guys always get caught as they think they are smart enough to pull off the robbery...

then too stupid to figure out the value of the stuff they stole.

That extended stay IMHO is tax payer money well spent!

Unless we know exactly who they were 'strong armed' (robbery) from,
how do we know they are real, and not Chinese counterfeits???

They were from the Capitol Coin robbery in DC a few weeks ago.
