A large induction furnace is always a nice addition to a shop as is a good heat-treating oven.

That has been done! In the 70s, I was managing a tire store. One night a thief broke in by kicking out the bottom of a glass door. He made several trips in and out. On the last trip out, the top half of the glass slid down. Cops were able to match the three digits in the store with the three stumps at the county hospital.

Works best if you weigh the body with a 50# block of salt to keep it from floating. Be sure the wire will fall off when the salt dissolves.

The best, if you can do it, is a single hunting bullet to the torso such that the victim can crawl at least 100 yds in the deep woods. when/if found it looks like a hunting accident.

Well, I don't mind prosecutors and patent lawyers...

Anyone who's had even *one* kid can really appreciate that redundancy is a good thing when it comes to parenting.

Even more than that, the notion that a kid is inheriting *two* sets of family values and behaviors, from which he can pick the best and discard the rest, is kinda comforting.

Seems more likely they pick the worst from both sides ;)

Few questions/coments:

What are they stealing?

Where are they selling it?

digital video systems are cheap.

Lord knows I'm no gun fan, but shotgun shells are cheaper[perhaps filled with granny's rock salt]

small windows? thick plexi; you are not slowing their entrance enough

junkies are smash and grab, tvs and stereos

if they know where the sensors are, they have been there in the daytime, you do the math.

Apparently not well enough!

Yup. Been there, done that, didn't like it. For _years_ after that fire I got immediate flashbacks to it if something would overcook, or if I'd singe some hair. Not good. Only good thing for the guy was that the coronor says he got one breath full of hot air and that probably killed him, so it was relatively quick. One of a handful of the worst calls I've been to in a dozen years as a firefighter/EMT.

After RVN..I avoided BBQs for years.

One at a time was bad enough - I can't imagine seeing this routinely in a war zone. I suppose it gets easier after the first couple hundred...
