Another fool who leaves 15K sitting in his car, and they just happen to know what car to steal from? Whatever.

My policy, from one of the leading insurance companies serving our hobby/industry, will cover coins left unattended in the trunk of a car. They will also cover losses from an unattended hotel room, provided that the coins are hidden out of sight. This is their standard contract, not a special deal for me. In fact, I tried to convince them to eliminate that coverage, because it would lead to more losses and higher premiums for everybody down the road, but I got nowhere.

At the next coin show someone needs to conduct a class for dealers on how to transport your coins.
Unbelievable!
this is not hard to understand and yet many dealers don't have common sense not to make them a target and end up robbed

<< <i>Better he gets hurt? Sheesh. >>
+1 (This did occur in New Jersey where muggings are not unknown.) Curious though as to how the witnesses concluded the perpetrators were "Spanish" as opposed to Hispanic American or even illegal Mexicans.
knows may or may not been a target just somebody who see a briefcase and decides to take it
<< <i>Lets stop blaming the victim. >>
Yes, it is a criminal act, but in this case, as in many others, the 'victim' neglected his personal responsibilities and therefore created a 'crime of opportunity'.
He IS to blame......

<< <i>What an easy theft. Left in car in a briefcase that could have been taken with person or at least out of sight and put in trunk . Who
knows may or may not been a target just somebody who see a briefcase and decides to take it >>
My, we are so eager to blame the victim for not putting the briefcase "out of sight" or "in the trunk" yet there is
not enough information in the OP that the dealer failed to do either.
SUVs have no separate locking trunks, and cars that DO have trunks often have a "trunk release" that
can be accessed once the passenger compartment is entered. Later cars have an radio controlled trunk
release, but that is no problem since a rear deck speaker can be yanked out in a couple
of seconds, and a thief's arm can easily reach the emergency release that is inside the trunk intended to be
used if a child accidentally locks himself in the trunk.
But hey, the members here are always good with making ASSumptions....
"Spanish" males or "Spanish-speaking" males? Since Spanish males are WHITE and most Spanish SPEAKING
males in the US are BROWN, it DOES make a difference.

Hey Andy, per my insurance person:
See following taking from the web:
"In September, Janet Wolf, a 4566-year-old IT services consultant for Dell, returned to her locked room at the Hyatt in Houston's Galleria district to find her Toshiba laptop stolen, Forbes reported on Monday. Management for the hotel later concluded the thief accessed the room by exploiting a vulnerability in the electronic door lock provided by Onity. The exploit was unveiled at this year's Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, and it affects some four million locks. It works by inserting the plug of a custom-made device into the port of an electronic lock to access the digital key that in turn accesses the opening mechanism".
I have a feeling that with this new technique, any Insurance Company that may be offering this coverage will soon re-think it. The thieves are finding all kinds of ways to beat the established practices.

I'm surprised that Janet Wolf is still working and hasn't retired yet.

I am a YN and I do not want anybody to question my IQ Level! I don't know everything and came here to learn!
I get no joy out of looking at my stuff while the actual item sits in a SDB.
You got to get this stuff to and from where you are going. I have not studied the actual price my insurance is charging me but i have almost 100k in gun insurance and 100k in coins/jewelry seems it runs about 2000 a year, it may be more but a small price for peace of mind.
From my vette to the powerstroke all the keys are in them in the driveway. Smart? probably not but none have dissapeared in the last 30 plus years, maybe if i lived in a subdivision with zero lot lines i might feel different. Everyone has there own level of what they feel comfortable with having dollar wise in their home/possession.
I just got back from a 10 day (4200 mile one way trip to alaska) and everything was still here. Did not miss a minutes sleep worrying.
