Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Jeez, Neil!
Man I'm sorry to hear this. Sure doesn't help maintain a positive attitude about humanity in general, now does it?
I think it's time you hired a professional security specialist to wire your store properly. Do you live close enough that a silent alarm would allow you to get to the store quickly? That's when you would need that .44. Or better yet, move your residence to be in line of sight with the shop. Then get a rifle with a starlight scope and just open the window and take aim when the alarm goes off. No one would shed a tear having those vermin turned into fertilizer.

Hell why not just buy a 50 calibar sniper rilfe. you can pick them off at a mile a way. that way you can be comfortable at home and shoot them bastards in the knee first adn work your way up. They might eb the same peope that killed your reptiels form the last robbery.
my 50 cent for the day
Thanx

Neil,
I'm so sorry to hear that something so horrible has happened to you yet again! spam_It is unbelievable and I am truly sorry you have to suffer through this heartache again. spam_I've had to deal with a break-in before (my apartment) and I know how you feel.
Just a suggestion, have you thought of trying one of those security companies like Brinks? spam_My parents had a Brinks system installed in their resteraunt after our first break-in and it has stopped a couple of break-ins since then. spam_There is a motion detector that goes off and an VERY loud alarm and the police are alerted immediately. spam_They also call you at home to let you know there has been a breakin. spam_I think the system is relatively inexpensive per month and you might want to look into something like that.
Once again, I'm sorry to hear about this horrible news and I will keep my eyes open for anyone trying to unload animals at a cheap price over hear on the west coast.

Thanks all....just for the record, this was our FOURTH Burglary in THREE YEARS!! THIS is what I did AFTER the THIRD burglary (Dec 16, 2001)....installed SIX cameras with 24-hour tape recorder (4 cameras inside, 2 outside), SIX spotlights around the building, 24/7 monitoring by ADT Security, VERY HEAVY METAL BARS on the OUTSIDE and INSIDE of EVERY WINDOW, 2 motion detectors, an OUTSIDE ALARM BELL, and HEAVY METAL iron doors (front and back)!
I am NOW in the process of BRICKING UP ALL THE WINDOWS!! I can't believe I have to go through all this crap, but....whaddaya gonna do??
Hey Rich....you think maybe James would like to help out?? ....Neil

Neil, buddy. This totally blows man! I am sorry to hear about this happening to you...AGAIN! I will be keeping an eye out for any of the snakes on your list popping up.
Also, I hate to imply and I don't know what kind of staff you have, but do you think it could have been an inside job? I mean, if they knew exactly where all the high dollar stuff and the security tape recorder was, that seems awefully fishy to me. The last robbery seemed more to me like someone not only trying to steal, but completely destroy your shop, while this one seems ALOT more planned out.
Just my two cents.
Sorry again man!

I know I'm going to catch it for this but I can't take reading much more of this unjustified sympathy - at least not for this break in or the last. A friend of mine on the Tampa Police Department just stopped by asking me if I had heard about the break in yet because he knows that I frequently go by there seeing as I am friends with Angie (the manager). I know alot more solid details about this that I should, in addition to some really unbelievable circumstantial details. I told my friend on TPD what I knew and he told me a few interesting things also. He told me that from the time Neil's alarm first went off until the first unit got to The Snake Pit was only about two and a half minutes. He said after being down there and seeing how and what was taken in addition to the the security tapes being smashed that there is no way humanly possible that "whoever" did this could have done what they did in 2 1/2 minutes. This was so important to Neil that he wouldn't even go to his own store when he found out about the break in, he made his manager go "because he didn't feel like it"! I have even heard with my own two ears from Neil himself that he didn't file a police report on the last burglary and was informed that he wasn't going to on this one either. He was told by TPD that he HAD TO on this once since the alarm was actually set off this time. There is SO MUCH more that I could list, but like I said - alot is circumstantial. Put two and two together. Oh yeah, Neil - that 1.0 Motley(ish) Granite Boa that was "stolen" - isn't that the one that died over the weekend that I saw in the freezer at the store on Tuesday? <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

Julie...For the record...I don't know who you spoke to at the TPD, but...I have made a police report for EVERY burglary!! The last TWO TIMES, they NEVER sent a detective out to interview me or ANYONE!! They didn't dust for prints and they didn't care!! I even GAVE THEM the Buglary "hood" that one of them left behind...and they RETURNED IT TO ME without doing ANYTHING with it!!
Julie....why are you saying these things about me after EVERYTHING I have done for you??? Are you actually HAPPY I got robbed??
And you are correct about one thing...the Motley WAS NOT STOLEN...it DID die, I just got confused last night! But, that doesn't account for your lack of sympathy! If you have THAT MUCH anymosity towards me....you don't have to come in here, anymore?? I don't know why you're saying these things, but...that's wrong!
And if you KNOW something...why can't you call ME and tell me?? Do you KNOW who did this?? ....Neil
