What if a robber left his business card? Would that be considered "funny"?

I would more classify that under incredibly stupid. Like those guys who leave their wallets at banks they've just robbed.

I remember reading of a guy in the States, who robbed a bank - but wrote the demand note on the back of a letter from the employment office about his dole cheque. That's just idiotic.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

I agree with the not funny. Think of it from the other side of the table, how wuold you like to come home to find your guitar and stuff stolen?

To the person who asked about insurance, yes you can insure your gear. Just mention this to your agent and ask what you need to do. I have my racing bicycles and jewlery on my polcy.

I just added a schedule to my policy, I didnt realize until after I listed it all that I had $35,000 in musical equipt. In the place I live if you dont have insurance and an alarm, you are just plain nuts.

I wish I had a Good job somewhere else, I would move in a heartbeat

Hell, Pianoman, that's a lot of money.....I added my stuff up, comes to a couple of thousand pounds worth.....and first thing tomorrow, I'm going to make sure they're insured......

But back to original post, already mentioned I was actually lucky enough to meet up with the person who nicked my stuff.....and yes I did enjoy the meeting.....he didn't.....I suppose I'm lucky he didn't pinch my beer, I would have been SERIOUSLY annoyed......

Funny? Maybe lol, but it would probably freak me out if I was robbed while I was in the house at night or something...Knowing some stranger had been creeping round the house at night, while you were asleep

Jim: Would be most obliged if you would keep your generalisations to yourself. That way I won't be annoyed while reading these fine fora and you won't look like some frustrated old guy who has no idea whatsoever what he is talking about.

Arjen, I have deleted my comments as I certainly do not want to offend anyone.

I have all my gear insured on a rider to my homeowner's policy.

It's "generally" not covered by your normal/typical homeowner's policy.

When you've done all you can to practice...practice some more.
