    That is why I build a 6 foot black mechanical bear that is controlled by remote in my home. You come to rob my home, I have it programmed to grab you by the throat and keep you there untill the police arrive. You have to do what you have to do to protect yours.

    These band of hardback crumb snatchers that is going around robbing people homes and businesses is going to get their just deserts very soon. Keep thinking that people is stupid. I run a business but I am not going to say what kind of business it is, they come to my business with the nonsense, I got something that is hotter than fire for them. I am going to protect my business and my employees. I work hard for mine and I am not going to allow some dirty, lazy crumb snatcher take it away so easy.
