Thread: Do you feel comfortable posting info?

Tweet

Very good questions and points. Yes, I do have some concerns about internet and regular theives. That is why most of us on here won't post our last names or certain other info like phone numbers. We also have the same concerns as you about people peering into our shop. When it is 95 degrees here we are forced to keep our shop door open while we work, and sometimes a questionable car or truck slowly passes by, or some Father waiting to pick up his Daughter from the dance studio down the way will stroll in and ask about our cars. Always makes us leary, and we don't want to be rude, but we don't invite them in and generally try to keep anyone, even friends, out.

This subject just came up between my Sons and I this week, and I caught some flack because I advertised some of the furniture I scored in that storage building on Craigslist, and I had the people come to the shop to pick it up. My Sons were worried that people we don't know were able to see what we had inside. But I was careful, and all of the people who I allowed in were older females (60-ish) and in one case the Husband and Wife worked for the local Sherrifs Dept. So I felt comfortable.

We do have alarms and other anti-theft measures in place, but some of these criminals are very good at what they do, and as we have seen from some of the cars that have been stolen, no matter what you do they can still get your stuff. For me, the bottom line is, I refuse to let these jerks make me live my life in fear.
