I need to regroup

[NH Bob]

I've run contests on different forums sending out prizes with my return address plus given out too much info trying to help people. My address is not a secrete as yours isn't either. Thanx to computers.
This was more than one person and they knew exactly what they were after.
I really enjoyed the forums but feel I need a break from it all.
I asked for trouble by posting my finds. Please be more cereful with yours.
Till later Bob

You said Time, Light and Noise are the biggest enemies of a burglar. The biggest enemy to a burglar is A HOME OWNER WITH A GUN. HH Dennis in Idaho

That will work IF you are home when it happens.

For the record, to all you burglars out there.... I am home and it is always loaded. HH Randy

You can't see it from the road and I own guns. Two signs saying Beware of dog and Every one that knows of me knows I carry a gun, Always.
Who ever did this knew all about my coins.
