    No I cant write a check for 100 grand, and I took an uninsured hit
    for aprox $30,000 in late November 2002- a masked individual smashed
    the front of my store out during the night, and smashed glass in all
    the cases, grabbed what he could in less than 3 minutes, and ran as a
    person walking home from work saw him and yelled. My alarm had been
    disabled, but we got him on camera but that didnt help. In my city,
    the likelyhood of this being a police assisted operation is very
    high.  I am still in business, but I don't think bravery is the
    issue. I often wonder if stupidity mught be more like it.  But then I
    have been at the bench for around 35 years so its really all I know
    how to do. I have been self employed for so long that I seriously
    doubt that I could handle working for someone else now. I probably
    would be deemed as one who 'doesnt work and play well with others'
    at this stage of the game. Ed in Kokomo
