Rodney,

    Thanks for letting us peek into your experiences in the safe and
    vault world. Your observations are very reasonable and to the point.
    I especially liked the decoy safe idea...I really don't think many
    safe crackers would be equipped to test c.z.'s ! Along the same
    lines of logic, I also liked the idea of spreading out the
    risk.......if you have a number of secure stashes throughout your
    turf you automatically impinge on the time factor of the would be
    thieves. This is especially appropriate when you consider that many
    criminals are actually druggies and /or punks who are easily
    frustrated. 

    Last, but not least is the visibility factor. If you have a high
    profile you had better also have a VERY high level of security. The
    yellow pages of your telephone directory are , basically, a HIT
    LIST. How convenient it is for the perp to have a ready made list of
    victims !. They are almost always a pecking order of those who have
    the biggest stashes. 

    We are now running a string on Orchid which extolls the virtues of
    advertising.....automatically, we are confronted with the irony of a
    need to maintain a low profile while getting the greatest possible
    profile.....hence, the need for an extremely well conceived
    compromise ! 

    There are no panaceas for security. Business is risk taking. It is
    tangible risk taking and it is financial risk taking. Life itself is
    risk. Without risk we don't venture and, without risk we don't have
    adventure,  and without adventure we aren't alive !
