I feel bad for the guy, but he must have had his collection poorly packaged considering it was worth $1 Million.
I know someone who was a jewelry rep for a company and traveled through several states to sell to local jewelry stores. This guy only carried his line worth about $100-$200K or so in his vehicle at any given time, yet had a special "safe" installed in his trunk that would have required a blowtorch to open.
For $1 Million worth of coins this guy should have taken better precautions. I bet he will next time he goes to a coin show.

And now a news crew is claiming they found a suitcase full of weed at the crash site....whoops that was pretty stupid to carry illegal drugs with all the coins if that was true. Can you say property of the state?
