    Would any insurer cover this loss?

    Wow what a haul. So much for gold "protecting your capital" if you don't "protect your gold" enough to hang on to it.. hard to believe it was left unguarded behind a window.

    Be a shame for that pan pac to be worn beyond identification, or worse yet, melted. The rest has some numsimatic premium but not the multiples of that thing

    I'd guess you'd have to read the contract. Who knows what is says.

    Less than 1 mile from Stoneham PD. A smash and grab, on Main St in Stoneham, that takes mighty big ones. Main St is used quite a bit, even stragglers back and forth in the 'early morning hours'. The PD cruises up and down Main St QUITE often. Being from that immediate area, I'm stunned that someone actually had the ---- to even attempt it.
    I'll come up with something.

    Whoever said "You can't take it with you" is to blame. Only due to the fact that we're in a society where it's always someone else's fault.

    Amazing.... this took some precision and planning... yes, even a smash and grab...and then there is the question of 'Why oh why' leave the gold coins in a window unattended? Cheers, RickO

    I cant find any info on this. No mention of this "burglary" online, 2 their local newspapers or even the web. Only mentions are here, a Facebook page and other coin forums. Hard to fathom this story is legit, but I could be wrong
