Who has the dimes?

Sounds like brand new dimes… $750,000 in one trailer and $200,000 stolen. Is the weight math correct? https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/14/us/phila ... index.html

Officials are searching for men in black clothing and gray hoodies, a white Chrysler 300 with tinted windows and a dark-colored pickup truck in connection with the theft.

No mention of the perps race.

You know it's black men who stole it, because if it were white perps CNN would tell you they were white. Black perps?... race NOT mentioned.
Time is precious, stop wasting it.

My brain working quickly and rounding the numbers calculates $200,000 in dimes to be more than 1000 pounds??? Is that right? No wonder they had a pick up.

Keep stacking. Look for silver dimes though.....

I wish there was a good way to bet on these guys being caught.

Even with Coinstar machines they will have a hard time going through enough dimes by spending them to make it worth it. This is IMHO one of the dumber crimes I’ve heard of.

The crooks probably had no idea what was in the trailer. If it was in Wal Mart lot they probably thought they were getting goods. Surprise!
Unless it was an inside job and the truck driver set it up.
I would imagine it will be solved fairly quickly.

Please also see the Stolen Dimes thread which began about 4 hours before this one.
