The question is: Within say, a 5-year period for the system, how often will I be broken into? If it's two or more times, the camera system makes sense.Gary Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897166491600280320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-16214841647414609842007-08-20T06:06:00.000-07:002007-08-20T06:06:00.000-07:00Perhaps some sort of camera surveillance, would ma...Perhaps some sort of camera surveillance, would make recovery, and inhibit the event from re-occurring at the new location?<BR/><BR/>TCP/IP webcam, with offsite data storage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-39914390998081496962007-08-18T21:37:00.000-07:002007-08-18T21:37:00.000-07:00Very sorry to hear this Gary.

A good portion of that was insured though, which limited my damages. In the future the drawer will be open and empty.
