A family is murdered for gold.

Folks,

just got wind of a horrible tragedy that occured in Louisiana where a family of 3 were murdered during a home invasion robbery on 18 February. The murderers, 5 of whom have been arrested, stole a safe with approximatly 500K worth of gold coins.

Apparently one of the murderers was a former employee of the owner.

The Numismatic Crime Information Center has provided a partial list This kind of horrible crime makes it quite obvious that all collectors should keep our coin collecting interests close to the vest.

Be Safe Everyone,

Malcolm
