I hope you catch the rat or rats woh perpetrated this crime....scumbags!!!!!

[James_OldeTowne]

Julian, I just checked out the inventory on your website. Are the coins referenced there part of what was stolen? If so, that list would at least be a small starting point.

 

If I find out anything, I'll forego the reward. I'd just like to see these lowlife scum brought to justice, and that would be plenty enough reward for me .

I would think that the best reward for anyone on any of the boards that I know about and am a member of would be to make sure that the people involved pay. Although I'm in no position to come across the accumulation of coins that are most likely a part of this group, if I do hear anything I will PM you and will expect no reward.

[FILTHYHOARD]

I live in NYC & if i see anything fishy, I'll definitely do my best to help. I wouldn't want any reward either, just justice & hopefully getting the coins to their rightful owner. After all , if I was the victim of a robbery, I would want someone helping me out. Best of luck,

Don

[WoodenJefferson]

You know what...this is getting close to professional "bounty hunter" monies now.

[PerryHall]

It's obvious Julian has many good friends in the dealer community which I think is great.

[Dene]

I hope they catch the ba****** that stold the coins. With that kind of reward, someone will know who did it and hopefully turn them in.

[TJ'S Coins]

Though this is such a tragic situation with the theft of Julian's coins, I'm very impressed at how dealers have banded together in seeking a resolution of this theft. I hope the thief is apprehended quickly and the stolen goods returned unharmed to Julian.

[ritter]

I'll keep my eyes open around NYC and Long Island.

 

I have had coins and paper money stolen from my house and car throughout the years and there is no worse feeling.

[Julian]

Many, Many thanx to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, wishes & pledges.

 

I cannot properly express the amount of my appreciation.

Best

Apparently he found his coins, since at least one of them is up for sale at Ebay. I wonder if he got to keep the reward offered by others?
