There is no surveillance in the bourse area. There is no way to fully secure the merchandise. Coin dealers are experts at protecting their inventory. Cases are chained to the tables, video cameras, etc. They often have "safe rooms" where they can store their most valuable items when the show is not open. We have talked about a safe room but unfortunately it puts the Club too much at risk.

I remember either Howdy or Mark Lighterman telling me about a large coin show where the thiefs came in after hours overpowered the guards and cleaned out the entire showroom. Fortunately they got hungry and decided to go through the drive through at Burger King. Unfortunately the truck was taller than the drive through and when they tore down the canopy the police came and discovered the stolen merchandise.

I have talked with a couple of other members about what the Club can do to increase security and we haven't found a reasonable solution. Any ideas are welcome.
