would this Deter you from buying used gear????


Remember the shooter(shooters) who terrorized the Washington DC area? Two of those shootings took place
within 3 miles of my home. As a result, I've become
involved with assembling a neighborhood watch group.
My question is, as part of this home safety program, it
will be a requirement to engrave my driver's license #
on posessions i.e. cameras, tv's, (and yes, audio gear.)
Would this process have any bearing on you buying quality
used gear from me????
Give it some thought, I foresee this scenario spreading
throughout our country.

Why dont you just disassemble your whole system each evening before bed,gather your cameras,jewels, TV's and any other precious collectables, etc...and go lock em' all in a giant steel fire and theft proof safe! This way you dont have to engrave anything on your stuff, and I'll be able to buy it from you when you sell it.OR...maybe you should think twice about getting involved at all?? You could take a vote and ditch the engraving "requirement"... whatever!
I think its time to revisit a great read by Marshall Mcluan "The medium is the message" [well maybe for all you old hippies out there.]
..if you live in a large city, forget about it. Cops have too much to do I guess. When I lived in Atlanta, my mother-in-laws' car was stolen from in front of our house (you may note...it's liscense number was bolted to the car!) ...the police don't even show up for a stolen car anymore. A year later I got a call from the police asking me if I had found the car!!! If I knew I was supposed to be looking.......
Just one of the many reasons I chose to move away!!!!!
