I have a house alarm (police response runs about 2 min.), and a safe. Plus I am surrounded by neighbors. Still, I keep a fair number of irreplaceable things in the safe deposit box in the bank. Walt

Break in at my house

Lone Hunter,
One business I knew was dismayed to discover the fire safe they had purchased at Wal-Mart was so easily shattered and the contents looted. Why any legitimate business would store that much cash in an unsecured office in a ~$40 fire safe amazed me.
John,
You seem pretty convinced a member of this forum broke into your house to steal your knives (unless I am totally confused by your recent post). Do you have any proof a forum member was responsible? Someone knowledgeable about knives would probably seek out someone with more valuable knives (a dealer perhaps or someone making a recent purchase of an expensive custom) but, what do I know? I buy my knives, I don't steal them unless you count some good deals I've gotten from the for sale forum.
The invasion of your home can be a traumatic experience. The loss of a few knives can be overcome but, the loss of security felt after the invasion is a much harder issue to resolve.
I hope you find safety and security again in your house and, that all is well with your family.

Sid,
I get the feeling we may have just heard from Mrs. Frank in the 6:31 post. While what you say is very true regarding the integrity of the vast majority of BFC members, I think we can put ourselves in Mrs. Frank's shoes and understand why she would feel compelled to lash out in this manner.
Mrs. Frank,
Myself, along with several of the other members who have posted here in this thread, have first hand knowledge of the anger that you feel as a result of an unfortunate incident such as this. We feel for your loss and hope that in time, you'll be able to put this incident behind you.

This is why I have a 1200# safe in the basement and 2 very protective dogs.
