of my brothers own workshops/garages and have had many tools =
stolen over
the years. They have learned to de-pretty their new tools by spray =
painting
splotches of brown and black paint on them. I mean, their nice yellow =
DeWalt
drills are really ugly. Thieves go for the nice pretty tools and tend to =
leave
the ugly ones alone. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

of locking
it. That shows you are afraid of losing something. I went to a concert =

Oakland and parked on the street and the woman I was with had me roll =
the
window down so someone could just get their arm in. We came back =
and
everybody's window on the passenger side was broken except ours. She =
