Shop was broken into last night. The alarm system has been busted fora while and it was one of those things I was gong to "get around to".They took my riding mower, a Honda weed eater, and some tools. theymust have had a truck as they brought a ladder (left it behind) andwent in through a side skylight. My buddy lost out the worst as theytook the whole top tool box of his. That thing must have weighed eighthundred pounds, so there must have been two of them. Spent the daywith the sheriff's crime guys for whatever that is worth. They did getprints and a glove left behind and everything was marked or had serialnumbers but....seems there is a "ring" operating in a very small areaof town (guess which) as they have hit many places in a one mile areain the last two weeks. Hopefully they are doing too much and will getstupid real soon. Things like this want to make me start selling offeverything save for a couple cars and retreating to another state likeJeffy. This city is turning rapidly to the "dark side" and is nowapproaching 50%. I never thought it would happen here thirty fiveyears ago when I first came here. Florida in general is going to shit.Studebaker George
