One more tale.

    Two years ago, just before Tucson, an Opal dealer friend of mine
    from Australia was spending the night with one of his friends in
    Phoenix before going to the show.  Well in the middle of the night,
    he heard something and ask his friend if it was him. The response
    was "yes , i'ts OK, go back to sleep".   The next morning, he and
    his friend found the projection TV setting in the drive way,  his
    friend's hand gun missing from the dresser, and over 100K of opal
    jewelry collected for the Tucson show missing. 

    They caught the bozos later, but didn't recover all of the jewelry. 
    What they did recover was the pieces that the bozos bent and broke
    and decided that it was "fake because it broke" and tossed into a
    dumpster. They still ended up loosing over 80K worth of jewelry. 

    This wasn't a targeted break in, but the lesson is the same.  Keep
    it really locked down, and keep it really hid.  You never know who
    is going to show up in the middle of the night.
