April 1, 2012 we were burglarized. We posted the video of the man's face on youtube, and facebook.
Well just got a call from the detective, and he says the man's attorney called and would like to return the stolen merchandise, and pay for the damages done during the break in.
So we are waiting to see if/when we get our stuff back.
A big thank you to everyone who helped. Our local Police, Washington State, Oregon State, as well as others. (this guy had warrants everywhere).
Thanks to anyone out there that viewed the video and helped ID the guy.
Score one for the good guys.

im sure after his "willingness to comply and pay for damage" he will just get a slap on the wrist and be right back out on the street...

I hope not, too!

I think it would be a good thing if when someone is caught stealing at a show, rather than just let the police catch-and-release them, someone should take a video or picture of the criminal and pass around, post it here and distribute it at future shows.

And then show a close up of a Susan B Anthony dollar.
I'm not an attorney (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night)
Here's the story from our detective.
Attorney called and said that he represented the guy in question.
Police have ID'd him as Fletcher with about 10 first names.
Attorney said, "it wasn't Mr. Fletcher, it was a friend of his, that he was supposed to meet."
And he said, "the friend didn't show up, so Mr. Fletcher left, and it was the friend who robbed the place."
Ok, so our detectives wanted ALL the raw footage from all of our cameras... 16 cameras with 24/7, audio and video.
Large video files. They want to show that Mr. Fletcher was the one that came up to the shop, and showed his face (video 3).
And that the burglar is the same fellow, please see video 1 and 2.
Now all you detectives out there, please watch the videos carefully, you guys will probably find things that can "sure up" this investigation.
You can see the same clothes, and other features... but see if you guys can make this case solid.
Thanks in advance.

<< <i>love it...a case solved >>
Boy I sure hope you are right but as of right now it's to early to call.

Talking to the detectives on the case may be useful as to options--whether you want to press charges or not. As to the risk of physical harm to you if you press charges because the guy is a dangerous criminal potentially--this just sounds like bullying! "Don't do the right thing because he might really get dangerous."
There are many coin dealers who have gotten ripped off, their shops broken into, their merchandise sold for drugs or whatever. Very infrequently do they catch the perpetrators. There are reports from time to time of them nailing the perpetrators who often run in packs and are organized.
Don't let yourself be intimidated by what "might" happen.

Absolutely. And the show operators should get clarification from the local police as to whether the person has to leave the coin show with the stolen goods, or just leave that table from which the goods were stolen.

And on the rare case where a vest pocket dealer may actually steal from a dealer who gives him/her undeserved trust, what should be the right procedure? In my case the show manager blamed me for being "too loose" instead of asking who it was and following up with proper law enforcement procedure. Electronic surveillance is becoming cheaper and smaller; every show should have some units installed inside the bourse for follow-ups on stolen good reports!
State of Idaho vs. Keith Fletcher.
So maybe the prosecuting attorney isn't buying the "friend" story.
We'll see how this goes, should be cheap entertainment at the least.

The guy might be a burglar, but he is a wonderful driver.
He has still not been caught, if only he would make a "calif. stop", or speed just a little, so he'd get pulled over, and FOUND.
Will let you know....

Our video system is in a weird format, and I couldn't find a converter.
So I just played it, and caught it with my iphone.
Update..... still nobody in custody.

I'm glad to hear that you were able to recover your belongings. I hope they catch him. Please post the mug shot for us when he is caught.
