You guys that "Can't Find It" must have massive collections or inventories. Not sure if that's a good or bad problem to have.

Storry that stills makes me sad almost 50 years later:
When I was in high school, I lived in a smaller town and worked after school in one of the local coin shops. In those days lots of shops kept a coffee pot going and had chairs, they became a place that local collectors would gather and talk coins.
A recently retired guy with an amazing coin and gun collection moved to our town, and he and i became friends. I spent a lot of Sundays at his house eating ice cream and talking coins. When he had his house built it included a secret room where he kept his collection. The year i went away to college, a couple of scumbags showed up at his house tied both he and his wife up and stole both his coin and gun collections. He still nice and helpful and had a lot knowledge, but he was never the same, It was like they took part of his life that he knew he could never get back. Not in 3 words but that is my collecting story taht still makes me sad after all these years.
