Greetings all.

    In this present business incarnation, I am not doing any work on
    valuable items. In the past when I was, the piece was kept at my
    bank, in the safe deposit box, when it was not actually being worked
    on. I would pick it up in the morning, return it when I was done at
    the end of the day. It was a matter of scheduling. A hassle?
    Sometimes, but I slept well. 

    In the incarnation before that, when I was partners in a store,
    there was the safe and security system as per Jewelers Mutual specs
    and a great relationship with the local police. 

    NEVER let people know where you live. DO NOT have "I am a Jeweler"
    license plates. Be paranoid. Run your business like a business not a
    game. The stakes are too high. Getting ripped off makes the insurance
    rates look a bargain. 

    Have had friends hurt and robbed.
