Reply #6: anything involving cash or gems [View All]

[pitohui]

a lot of small retail businesses are cash only, surprisingly junk and flea market dealers get jacked a lot

a lot of gem show dealers also get jacked a lot altho really most of them take credit cards now so perhaps they aren't as big of targets as they were back in the day


any time you're doing shows in different towns every weekend, and people know you have a good earn at a certain show, you could be a target

i remember once a jeweler friend saying in despair he didn't know ANYONE who had never been victim of armed robbery, he did flea's and gem/mineral shows
