How about a alarm system after the first attempt.

Did he have home owners insurance? Any insurance at all?

If NO to any of the above .............. then stop crying over spilled chips!

If I leave my chips in my car, unlocked with no alarm on and someone takes them, does'nt most of the blame fall on me?

Plus did he tell anyone in his apartment building about these little round chips?

I bet he did.

Oh! That is life in the BiG City. I don't think we are in Kansas anymore!
