    Only all week?

    I know how you feel. I really do. I came home from the office one day about three years ago to find my dogs locked in a back bedroom and the house completely ransacked. They were in the house for at least an hour, and took pretty much everything with a firing pin or an electrical plug.

    The burglars apparently broke the lock on my back gate and pulled a "landscaping" truck into the back yard from the alley, and left someone standing in the back yard running a weed whacker to cover the noise.

    They left a couple of the computers stacked next to the back door, but took the DVDs, DVD player, television, stereo, DSL "modem," hubs, switches, keyboards, shotguns, rifles... even my beard trimmer.

    Were I to catch them, confession would be among the least of my worries.

    Sorry to hear that David. I saw a story on 20/20 or Dateline about used car dealers who were removing the airbags and selling the car without them. I guess the price tag on a replacement air bag is worth the risk :confused:

    On a lighter note, this could be one of those defining moments in the sporran business though. A Sporran-AB, sporran-air bag Can you envision the Crash Test for that? A CO2 cartridge attached to a balloon tucked into the sporran, then BOOM............... ok, so there are some details to work out.
