Is not common sense anymore to not leave $54,000 of gold or $275,000 of cash or cards in your vehicle parked in a public access spot?
The victim of a crime is never at fault, but your odds of being one are greatly higher if common sense is not utilized.

Show thefts in Canada as well
My friend is a full time coin dealer and has told me that dealers are being followed into underground garages after shows and held up at gunpoint.
He also mentioned a dealer being followed from a show in Montreal and when he stopped in Kingston for lunch, his car was rifled and there was over half a million dollars in cash and bullion. He had air tags inside the bag but they were cut out and ditched by the bad guys

One of the funniest things I had occur as a dealer was when a customer walked up and asked me if I wanted to look at his cards. When I reached out for his small stack of cards he pulled back and would not let me take them. Guess he though I was going to rip him off. At that point I told him I wasn't interested.

It seems two things could help alleviate some of the risk:
• Stop dealing in cash -- just use the same methods we do here to make sales/purchases. I guess this would require some to pay taxes who don't wanna. It does seem illegal drugs and card shows are the last paper money businesses. • Hire private security or have a close associate with a .38 or .40 open-carried on their hip to tell criminals you aren't the target they're looking for.
