When I was doing the antique show here in Atlanta....Dealers were being "hit" while someone KNEW they were out of state doing a show.
Sometimes info....such as where one might be at a certain time comes up here regularly....Showing off your collection,
The city you live in, are all things that can make you a target....
If you are targeted ....It only takes a couple of minutes to get in. a minute to find the best piece in a displayed collection
and another minute to flee.5 min. tops
How long does it take for the POLICE to get to your house????
Smash and grab crimes are the hardest to catch and the thieves know this.Just remember this....prison has the stupid criminals there...the smart ones don't get caught....and once it is gone you will never see it again
Here is another you should know......I am sure I am not the only one this has happened to either....
I lost all my equipment...sandblaster,compressor,sanders ,
signs, add glass,computer rebuilding eqipment,parts,Texaco planes,Amoco planes,...almost all my "toys" .
My wife at the time disposed of it all, when we went through a divorce....It was all
pre-marital property....and when the matter came up in court the judge said
"If the stuff is gone it's gone".....I lost
$20,000.00 of stuff....legally.... I could have appealed, but there is a good ol boy judicial system here.....ouch !! Would it please the court to use some lube???? My attourney said she would never take another case in Carroll county...She said the judges didn't "play fair"...I agree.
