Hey Little Hawk!! You lookin' at ME? You LOOKIN' at me? YOU lookin' at ME??

I've had three very nice instruments (and a sound system) stolen over the course of thirty two years. It's very tempting at times to become OVER-careful, OVER-suspicious, OVER-cautious and in general "over the top" about security, both material and personal.

When I look back though, it was ME that was asking for it as far as three out of four of the thefts go. Ie: Leaving a car idling while I bought FAGS!! (I got the car back, but not the wonderful 1959 Harmony Sovereign 12 string) Y'ad be surprised how many time I did that....another good reason for having quit.

If at all possible DON'T leave yer good stuff in a car where people can see it. It brings out the WORST in some sad folk.

I've spent a fair amount of time around "criminal element" people, and it's their similarity to "regular folk" that amazes me, not the differences. You'll never be completely safe, but try not to tempt the "easily temptable".

Cheers

Rick
