    I remember this jokester. We ousted him from the IG community well over a year ago for being no good rotten .... Kid was good for nothing. Looks like he's still up to his old tricks!

    So was he actually stopped by police and arrested, or was it just that folks were able to determine he stole the coins?

    Sorry, my heritage is showing. I guess it is a genetic thing that I cannot always control. :( It felt good to write though. Now I feel much better. :)

    Or PCGS and NGC slabs.

    I hope they catch him and recover the coins, that's a huge loss to about anyone (anyone I know)

    A coin did get stolen by get this a 14 or 15 year old. He sold it to a major dealer. He took the check and bought two watches. He stole a 3rd watch while buying the watches. Some one does have his real name an address. They said he came to the show w/his father and grand pa. Makes you wonder if he was put up to it

    No word if he did get arrested. Kid was dressed well and a few dealer said he knew his coins

    What is the IG community?

    I understand why the above post was redacted, but I wish some of the information could have been retained.

    NOT a promising start to a young life, though I wonder how much of his behavior was truly his vs. the adults. Even an online persona too.

    Instagram Coin Community. It's the largest online platform (quite possibly the largest platform whatsoever for YN's) for YN coin collecting/ coin collecting and dealing in a more personal manner. It's a bit hard to explain. Coin dealing on Instagram, in Lamen's Terms.

    Posting of personal information/libelous information is cause for ban by the Mods here, apparently.

    Thanks! All I could think of was Italian Greyhound--my age and biases are showing. But I've heard of the Instagram angle before, just couldn't connect the IG dots.

    @boyernumismatics.... I was not looking for personal or libelous information.... Just facts about the incident(s).... Many cases have been detailed here before and information can be used to guard against future transgressions. Cheers, RickO
