This subject really hits home for me. We were burglarized twice before we got out of the crummy town we used to live in, once at home and once at the shop. The house was a random deal. We pretty much had a friendly, open door policy at the shop. We were hit by a guy who had tagged along with another fellow there picking up parts. I remember the clown looking the place over. After that, the place was alarmed and closed up tight. If you weren't on my Christmas card list, you didn't get past the reception area, period, and it's a short list. I also look at strangers a little differently now. You are wise to not trust knuckleheads wandering in to look at your stuff.

Guaranteed, you know the person who did this. I know it is a terrible feeling to have your prized possessions violated like this, but don't give up. Time will take some of the sting out of it. In the meantime, tighten up security, don't allow your building to be so public and just be grateful that they didn't completely clean you out, if you can.

Finish the car and go racing. Overcoming setbacks makes it more gratifying when you get there.
