<WBR>Dale,<br> <br> That plain sucks.  A few years ago I broke a finger playing softball for my church.  The doctor gave me Vicodin  (absolutely beautiful stuff!).  Since I never take pain pills, I was a sitting duck for the Vicodin, and in my haze forgot to lock the van.  Next morning my favorite tool case was gone (SAT III, good hammers, usual "in the home" tools.)  <br> <br> I'll pass your email to the Sacramento crowd.  Dennis will be stronger for this challenging experience.<br> <br> Best,<br> <br> Dan<br> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: erwinspiano@aol.com<br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 9:24 am<br> Subject: Stolen tools<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_6790a888-4316-4c14-9bff-ade7915acd66> <div> To all my Tuner  Brethren</div> <div>  Last week a low life smashed the window of My son Dennis's car with a rock & stole his Genck(provided by Paul R.J.) tool case.  Enclosed were all the things that are vital to his livelyhood including his beloved, Fujan tuning Lever.
