If only one had remained with the car, he might have been confronted by the robbers, outnumbered, and it could have been worse.
If the dealers had managed to avoid the incident at that location, but had been tailed all the way home, the consequences could have been much worse.

So, from a security standpoint, what are the two of you drawing from this, go to the bathroom together to potentially minimize the consequences?
Every one of these, from what I recall, have been tail jobs, after the victims had left the show. That should tell us one thing, that's when we want to be on our toes, leaving as little as we can to opportunity and chance.

I've wondered about that same scenerio with every case that's been reported. No one wants to be followed into their driveway and/or home. Besides the one incident of the dealer's wife being injured, there's been no other personal confrontation and injury. How long til that happens? They are prepared, patient and determined.
Have bought and sold on BST, many references available when asked.
Sounds pretty clear in hindsight to those who have never been a coin dealer before.
But if you've done the same thing hundreds of times. Flown under the radar in a non-descript car that you wouldn't expect to draw attention. Taken measures that you thought were adequate, then it doesn't seem so obvious.
My point is that it probably doesn't help anyone and can't make the victims feel any better for people who have never walked that mile to sit behind their keyboard and throw stones.
Definitely a common problem I've observed in these threads is the almost inevitable weak-minded accusation of victim-blaming whenever somebody might happen to come along and hasten to point out where the victim(s) may have gone wrong. I think that's a shame...
