    Good Point!  I also work out of my house.  I often caution my kids
    about who they bring into the house and my workroom where the
    internet connected computers are.  I only work in silver and
    turquoise right now so it wouldn't be a huge loss but a definite
    crimp in my business to get started again. Halloween night I did hear
    something to ponder a bit.  My neighbor was walking his kids around
    trick or treating.  When he came to my house he made the comment that
    I may be giving out free diamonds as treats.  It was all in jest but
    it concerned me as if someone breaking into my house with the intent
    of stealing gold and diamonds would be rather frustrated with a
    bunch of fabricated silver and bags of rough turquoise.  But then I'm
    nearly always home.  If I'm not then my two large barking (and
    potentially biting) burglar alarms are.
