Woman loses $2,500 in coins during move

  • Follow Crime & courts

Vintage coins valued at $2,500 went missing after a North Augusta woman hired a moving company to pack her belongings, according to a North Augusta Public Safety incident report.

Covan World-Wide Moving, Inc., was hired to move the woman out of her home of on River Bluff Road.

The 46-year-old woman told an officer that an employee assured her the coins were packed. But on Saturday, she opened the boxes and could not find the coins, according to the report.

The moving company sent a representative to search the remaining boxes, but the coins were never found. According to the report, the employee who packed the boxes didn’t show up for work Monday and was unable to be reached by phone.

Vintage

Assuming the coins were not pennies or nickels, $2,500 worth of old coins (silver) would fit in a medium-sized purse. Too bad she did not carry the coins herself.

For real LL!!

First of all, why in the H-E- double hockey sticks would anyone tip the mover off that there was loot to be had? Did she let them pack up her jewelry too?

I'm sure the employee didn't

I'm sure the employee didn't show up Monday. Probably spent the whole weekend partying it up. Sounds like they know who the crook is, so he should be behind bars soon.

Thursday

It's already Thursday. Surely someone has found the employee by now.

I agree with IAD

Who does that? I always do my own packing and taping, and then have the movers load the boxes. It's the only way to avoid theft, that, and moving small valuables separately. Hard lesson for this lady. I hope she could afford the loss.
