THE SNAKE PIT WAS BURGLARIZED *AGAIN* LAST NIGHT!!

I'm happy to say that the Raleigh Show was a whopping success for us this past weekend. spam_As such, I am going to be sending Mr. Thomas Crowley a check for $670.04 to pay off the money James Thornton withheld to complete payment on the work he did investigating Neil's December, 2001 breakin.

I have been in contact with Mr. Crowley, but he has insisted that we don't owe him a dime and he is inclined to just let this go as a bad experience for him. spam_That is not acceptable to me, as I am sure it would not be to anyone else here. spam_He did the work, so he is due the money. spam_And as such, once I get a full report, it will be posted on the BOI (as long as this is legally possible and acceptable to Mr. Crowley). spam_I may have to ask Mr. Crowley to consider this money as a payment to spend $670.04 worth of effort to investigate Neil's latest breakin if he is reluctant to accept the money for the past bill. Perhaps if he does nothing more than determine that the came culprit(s) were involved in both breakins, then that would be suffficient to be worth the money to me.

I will let you all know when I know more.

Thanks.

Rich....I think I LOVE YOU!!! Sure hope your wife doesn't get jealous?

Neil,
&nbsp;The vcr was sent today. &nbsp;I hope you can use it. &nbsp;Thanks.

Neil,
Really sorry to hear about this stuff that is happening to you. &nbsp;And on top of that insult to injury with all the crap people try to say. &nbsp;I know how you must feel, the pet shop that I work in has had repeated burglaries recently and we are investigating possible security methods. &nbsp;If you need any help with security ideas let me know because we have put considerable time into investigating them. &nbsp;I don't want to post everything on here, might give away some of the ideas I give you for your new security system <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>. &nbsp;Let me know if I can help.

Oh...as far as personal protection methods...my dog would probably lick someone to death before she bit them, but she does have a fiersome bark. &nbsp;Just in case, my personal preference is a remington 870 express magnum pump shotgun...properly outfitted of course...I can disintegrate a fast flying 4" clay disk thrown straight across, so I would imagine disintegrating a 6ft intruder without harming the green tree python he's trying to steal wouldn't be too much of a challenge &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> .(sorry...people stealing stuff really pisses me off.)

I have been out of town since Thursday but before I left I talked to Niel about this (his store and Julie's post).I will tell everyone that I am her boyfriend not her keeper the day she told me about her post I told her then that it is asking for trouble but she is hard headed and posted her opinions.We returned home last night (Monday) and I called Niel then and we had a long talk about everything that has happened and things that are going to take place over the next couple days.I am sorry that this happened again but I can not and will not stop her from posting her opinions that is a God given right she has and I know what she is basing that opinion on (proof) for the last two burglaries of the Snake pit (Niel and I talked of that last night) I am the last person to lay judgement on anyone so all I am going to on this subject is that this time I hope the culprit gets his.

Neil,

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Guns, dogs, security systems and booby traps are all well and good but originally I stated that I thought all the break ins may have something to do with your location. &nbsp;How does this other store which is supposed to be right down the road from you differ from yours ? &nbsp;Do they carry high end animals ? &nbsp;Is their store built like yours ? &nbsp;It may have something to do with the tattoo parlor next to you, I am not making a blanket statement about people with tattoos because I have a couple myself, but the element it can attract may be a part of the problem. &nbsp;The person or persons that did this to you are nothing but scum and I really hope you find out who was involved and they are punished to the fullest extent of the law. &nbsp;You are a really nice guy and a you have some nice animals and its really a shame that bad things always seem to happen to good people, I truly hope this will be the last break in/theft that happens to you, because in my opinion you dont deserve any of this. &nbsp;and just a thought .... its too bad crucifictions are no longer practiced with our wonderfully hot sun and high temperatures, then after the victims were all dried out like beef jerky you could cut them up and feed them to your monitors ....... just a ( very evil ) thought.

Neil..you are not alone...
Sometime between the weekend and last night...(cicn't get the whole story)
a pet store in Baltimore also got robbed.
They had Russian Tortoises stolen.
African grey parrots.
chameleons
and snakes stolen
as well as fish

Ritchie-
Hmmm...that story sounds awfully familiar...have you been talking to my boss? fat chance, my boss has never used a computer in his life...The pet store I work for is located in Maryland, outside of baltimore. &nbsp;We had the following stolen:
Russian tortoises
An african grey parrot
Random normal snakes
and yes a few fish
(sound close enough?)
Greek tortoises
Bearded dragons
Redfoot tortoise
This was not easy on us, being a smaller shop. &nbsp;So Neil, I feel your pain. &nbsp;I suggested to my boss that we construct a large cage that is easy to open from the outside and put an adult croc monitor inside that says: "extremely rare crocodile monitor $7000- great disposition", and let the bastards try to steal it!

That's the one.....
I saw it on TV

you forgot albino burm

I'm not sure if Rich will allow this statement to stay, but, I thought you all should hear this from ME before you hear it some other place....
I am not going to go into details, but, I have heard, today, that there are ruors going around that I acually orchestrated ALL FOUR f my own burglaries for the (non-existing) insurance money!! Oh, AND to squeeze money out of my father!!
All I'm going to say HERE, is: it's ridiculous!! ....Neil
