ColonialCoinUnion · August 21, 2009 9:34AM

How awesome is that!

richardshipp · August 21, 2009 9:34AM

Fantastic !!!

I say forego the trial and just shoot the thief in the head.

darktone · August 21, 2009 9:36AM

<< <i>Can you say what lead up to this or is there an investigation/case pending? >>

I can't really say until I get an okay from the cops. Some of the crooks are still on the loose.

Great to hear you got your disc's back. Better keep em locked up better this time

"Crooks" you say.... hmmm.... sounds like we're going to need more bullets.

AU58WALKERS · August 21, 2009 9:42AM

Best news I have heard all day!

rgCoinGuy · August 21, 2009 9:43AM

That is absolutely great news! And to think I got sucked into arguing about someone else's ebay transaction when I could have pulled up this thread for a smile instead.

Great to hear, congrats, and look forward to hearing more when you can.

DorkGirl · August 21, 2009 9:43AM

Very cool!!

fc · August 21, 2009 9:45AM

that is simply amazing and a big win for you!

great! i cannot imagine the feelings you must be having right now
to have your property back in your hands.

TomB · August 21, 2009 9:47AM

This is terrific news.

BAJJERFAN · August 21, 2009 9:54AM

Any of the coins damaged Mike?

Stew · August 21, 2009 9:57AM

Glad there is a Happy ending to this

jesbroken · August 21, 2009 9:58AM

Great news. Congrats.
Jim

CarlWohlforth · August 21, 2009 9:59AM

Wow, that is great! Fantastic news! I'm so happy to hear that.

Now, does getting them back make you think you should/will/want/might sell any of them? In other words now that the coins have been recovered will your collecting habits change?

TheRegulator · August 21, 2009 10:03AM

That is great news.

And a "job well done" to those who helped track them down.

SUMORADA · August 21, 2009 10:06AM

darktone · August 21, 2009 10:13AM

From what I have seen everything is okay coin wise but it's all being held as evidence. No coins were cracked out. I hope I can get things back quick. Some jewelry is missing and so is the cash but 95% of things are there.

coinmanic · August 21, 2009 10:15AM

Awesome, Darktone? Now we can remember you again for a better reason, your comments on the ubiquitous Superior Ads.

Goldbully · August 21, 2009 10:15AM

Really great news, Mike....I'm so happy for you!!!!
The good guys finally win one!!!!!!

Justacommeman · August 21, 2009 10:16AM

Was Brett Favre involved in this heist at all? CONGRAT"S on the coins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MJ

MidLifeCrisis · August 21, 2009 10:20AM

That's great!

I'm very happy for you!

Swampboy · August 21, 2009 10:53AM

Flatwoods · August 21, 2009 11:23AM

First time I've smiled all day.
Congratulations, that is great news.

Walmann · August 21, 2009 11:46AM

Very glad to see you've recovered those.

ElmerFusterpuck · August 21, 2009 11:53AM

Now that is awesome news! It seemed like too much time had passed since the heist, but it's good to see things worked out. I recommend that the crooks be sentenced to swallow 5 rolls of badly corroded zinc cents as punishment, along with some sort of prison time.

metalmeister · August 21, 2009 11:57AM

sinin1 · August 21, 2009 12:27PM

thats got to be a big relief, like finding 10 years of your last coin purchases

illini420 · August 21, 2009 12:33PM

Oh wow, I hope you bought your lotto ticket for tonight because you got very very very very lucky... I thought those were gone forever for sure!!!!! Congrats!!!!!

keets · August 21, 2009 12:39PM

have you rented a safe deposit box yet??

NotSure · August 21, 2009 2:36PM

First, Lake Placid in 1980, now this. Miracles CAN happen! Congratulations! And I concur with 'put them in a safer place...but I'll bet you don't have to be told that now.

BlindedByEgo · August 21, 2009 2:49PM

Both amazing and rare. Congrats! Can't wait to read the details.

lcoopie · August 21, 2009 3:11PM

morgandollar1878 · August 21, 2009 3:17PM

That is some of the best news that I have heard all week. I hope they get the ones that are still on the loose.

drddm · August 21, 2009 3:18PM

Congrats Darktone

I guess good things really DO come to those who wait.

That's GREAT!!!!!

MsMorrisine · August 21, 2009 4:21PM

ibzman350 · August 21, 2009 5:14PM

Great news........now next time you come to VA Bch let me know I've got a nice camper in Sandbrige I'd like to rent out to you. Better then staying in a hotel at the ocean front.

Herb

LeeG · August 21, 2009 7:24PM

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!

darktone · August 21, 2009 8:44PM

Thanks everyone! I'll give details as soon as I can but it sounds like the burglers had the stuff stold from them the night after it happened and the second set of crooks just sat on it but slipped up trying to sell it last week and I got wind of it and tracked them down and alerted the cops.

coinkat · August 21, 2009 8:48PM

congrats- terrific news

darktone · August 21, 2009 8:53PM

DHeath · August 21, 2009 9:07PM

That's great news Mike. Thieves always end up taking more than the goods. I'm glad you got your coins back, but even more happy they caught the buttheads.

Connecticoin · August 21, 2009 9:10PM

Excellent News! Nice to see one of these stories with a happy ending!

I love a happy ending. Make sure to keep us posted on the criminal prosecution. That will make it even happier.

"The coin fairy reunited the collector with his coins, and they lived happily ever after. The crooks did some serious time with cellmates named Bubba and Big Zeke. The end"

blueifalcon · August 21, 2009 9:43PM

Shaweeeeet! I'm really happy for you. Don't you love it when a plan comes together?
