My local coin store closes its doors - too many robberies.. List of items to avoid on eBay, etc.!

5 posts
I had heard of a robbery earlier this year at my favourite coin store here in Edmonton, Canada - but I didn't know of another one, or of the one that happened last month while I was away on holiday. I went there for the first time after returning just today and found the door locked. Going online, I saw the news report with photos.. I am friends with the worker shown in the photos taken during this last one - I am sick to my stomach thinking of what was going through his mind during the ordeal.
Anyway, the owner has closed the doors. Please check out the associated article for a list of items taken from the store, and contact your authorities if you see anything or are contacted to buy anything from that list.

I just realized - the topic title is misleading.. this is not actually MY store as in belonging to me, but my favourite local store where I get my coins and chat/learn about things from the owners.. How do I edit the title?
Below the title is your Opening Post, which should have an Edit button near top right.
From that you can either edit your post or the title, as you are the topic creator.

I changed it just now temporarily by adding local near the beginning;
you can change it to something else if you wish. :)
Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins
I saw that that happened too.
So sad.
Luckily the ones around me are still quite open for business.
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!
Truly a tragedy, very sorry for the owner and their customers.

I have removed them form the "People's List" stickied to the top.
