Reputation is everything! Good thinking there, Bob, in the midst of a highly provocative situation.

If they were idiot enough to kick open a door to break into a house that they thought was unoccupied, then I would expect them to perhaps not consider the consequences of having a gun with them that they were possibly carrying for purposes unrelated to the crime. Lots of people get arithmetic...

Moved out of the country is a possibility, but Jim's area is a long ways from a port. There is a big market for used equipment in China and developing countries, places like Sri Lanka. I heard that in those countries they are wizards at patching things up and getting them working again. There...

When I was a little kid my family was visiting some friends and I stole something from the kid's room that lived there. It was a flag. I fell asleep in the car on the way home and when we got to our house and inside, my mother undressed me and found it because I shoved it down my trousers...

Do they ever catch these guys that steal stuff? What's their excuse? What is it, one goes down and another pops up?

An interesting topic, a look at how things go for you guys in your environments.
