We have two Dobermans and a security system. The security system is likely to save a burglar's life. We had a break-in years back. We were at a wedding. The dog (Doberman) took the guy out of the house. When the cops arrived the dog was found dead in our yard. The burglar went to a hospital for over 160 stitches. He was caught. Nothing was stolen but our hearts. We have never had less than two of them since.Come in my house uninvited and kiss your ass goodbye.In a message dated 6/23/2010 2:20:48 P.M.

There is even a market for instruments would be immediatey identifiable. Unlike famous art, known instruments are quietly traded and ransomed back and sometimes fought over.I know many people that have to make sure their homes are extra secure or they would be robbed. I have lost a modular Moog and a Les Paul to thieves and I have had to do some cloak and dagger shit to recover gear for people I have worked for.Insurance is hard to get , hard to claim and really expensive.
