That's not very liberal of you. Why do you need all those coins?

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? |

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. Bruce |

Not a bad idea. Decoys often work on other dumb animals... 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. Depends on your "collecting" philosophy. Most people who actually collect things - be they coins or stamps or toy trains - like to actually enjoy seeing, holding, playing with, etc those items that they collect. Putting a coin collection in a bank vault is, in my opinion, contrary to "collecting". I would rather sell such coins to someone who would enjoy them, put the money in stocks and take a trip to a local museum or coin shop to just look at my vast "virtual coin collection". Mind you, putting valuables into a home safe while vacationing or evacuating would not be a bad idea for folks who choose to live in obviously troubling locations like coastal Florida. 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. Obviously! I think this was the OP's point when he said the looters ought to be shot. Padraic. la cieurgeourea provoer mal trasfu ast meiyoer ke 'l andrext ben trasfu. |

From: Edward McGrath
They should have had their coins in a safety deposit box at the bank. Posibly. Doesn't excuse the looters, though. the looters will be spending vintage coins on colt45 and cigarettes Why didnt they just loot the colt45s and cigarettes? 8-| - Coin Saver |

I am a bit more fatalistic with my collection. Earlier this year I went to
New Zealand for 3 and a bit months and left my collection sitting on the coffee table. It was just fine sitting there all that time. I never worried or barely even thought about it even though I live in a bad area. If my unit is safe enough for me than its safe enough for my collection. If someone gets in and takes my collection then good luck to them....if they can sell it that is. Not so many dealers in my state. Ebay would be their best bet and I would be looking around there if something disappeared. I would NEVER harm anyone over my collection. They are just coins and not worth taking someones life over. I WOULD however be more concerned with my own safety. Mame "JSTONE9352" wrote in message ...
