These thefts are also taking place away from the shows to both Card and Coin dealers, these dealers are being followed to gas stations/restaurants/motels and their cars being broken into while they go inside and leave material in the car, trunk or trailers. These are not petty thieves, I had a coin dealer friend several years ago that was tracked across 4 states, when he arrived home he parked in his driveway and went in to check on all his animals. Walked out 10-15 minutes later and found his car doors open and trunk popped. The Feds eventually found most of the coins and turned out to be the Russian mob. These people if interrupted during the commission of said crime are not the kind to run away.
One of our own pre-war dealers in California experienced this just a year or so ago upon his packing his vehicle and leaving a southern California show. |

I’m sure if the promoters raised the table fees to go towards undercover and uniform units doing security at these shows it would be well worth it.

Most of these shows have heavy security both uniform and plain clothes. The crimes are occurring when off premises or in the case of the Dallas show, after hours, which I presume the security had left.
