They should have had their coins in a safety deposit box at the bank.
Now the looters will be spending vintage coins on colt45 and cigarettes.
If you know a hurricane is coming and you had to evacuate the area what
possesions would you take out of your house and leave with?


Are you implying it might have been better to have left some six packs of
Colt .45 and cartons of cigarettes visible in the house so looters would be
able to take them and avoid the extra step of having to take money to buy
them? I feel sorry for anyone who keeps a collection of (whatever) at home
because it can't be conveniently stored in a bank vault, and which may have
to be left behind in an emergency evacuation situation. The unscrupulous
looters who prey on these stressed-out homeowners are the ones who should
shoulder the blame and punishment, not the victimized collector-homeowner.
