I saw this on another forum. Another sad story about people being followed from coin shows.


An antique coin and bank note collection valued between $300,000 and $500,000 was stolen from elderly couple in the Annandale area this past weekend, according to Fairfax County Crime Solvers.


The couple returned to their home in the 3800 block of Stuart Circle about 7:20 p.m. Saturday after spending the day at a coin show in Charlottesville, Va., according to authorities. The couple went into the house, and upon returning to their car after a few minutes, the entire collection of coins and bank notes was missing, authorities said.


The couple may have been followed home from the coin show, authorities said.


The collection was inside three brown leather briefcases, two document holders and a leather backpack, which were all hidden under a blanket in the rear hatch area of the car, authorities said.
