    I was thinking the exact same thing. I am new to this art (hubris?
    Let's not go there again!) as you know but I have spent a lot of
    time and money accruing a large collection of lovely gemstones,
    expensive tools and precious metal. The last thing I would want was
    for people to find out that there are things of such value at my
    address. 

    I would imagine that this was an even more appropriate case for all
    you work from home professionals out there who are regularly working
    with high carat golds, platinum and diamonds, etc. It only takes one
    occasion for the wrong sort of person to find out the whereabouts of
    such treasures and then not only is your inventory at risk but the
    safety of you and your families. 

    When I start selling my "work", I won't be inviting anyone into my
    home for the purpose of selling.
