Coin Shop Burglary, March 2024 - Montana

What a shame.

I haven't seen where anyone has been arrested for Wayne's robbery. Wayne has been in business for many, many years in the same location. His store is a mess and it's difficult to find anything in it. One pretty much has to ask Wayne if he has such n' such. He's also Mr. Grumpy. I'm sorry that he was robbed. We have another store in town and that's now my go-to. It's very nice.

Typical response, upping security after the fact.

Pretty sad. In article he's going to beef up entry door, but in pic it looks like the window is still an easy access. I wonder if he had cameras, door sensors.

Anyone who has a substantial coin collection/bullion at home I encourage you to have a good safe and security cams. And DO NOT tell people you have them at home, only your immediate family. Home security cameras are very popular and not expensive to have a few. Even if you don't have high dollar valuables at home, security cams are a good idea in my opinion. When away from home they can send you phone notifications of detected movement outside or inside your home.

Some keep their collections in bank boxes. Others don't fearing bank failure or government confiscation. In my state contents of safety boxes always belong to the owner or heirs, banks have no claim to contents.

Nothing is 100% safe, you reduce the risks.

I have several cameras guarding my garage doors, front/back doors recording to an NVR. Here is pic of front door cam. Thankfully there's only been a few car break ins and porch pirates in my neighborhood, none at my house so far.

I only trim sidewalk edges once a year LOL. I hate yard work, allergies. I wear a mask when I mow.

Well maybe hate it too strong a word. I enjoy a small garden and flowers more than mowing. Zyrtec for me too, flonase and an annual Kenalog shot or similar helps.
