Ah, I should have said "This is how I'd do it" -- rather than make a 'calculated' mark, I'd make a distinctive and plausible mark, and get DNA evidence to boot. Interesting what advice a friend in law enforcement might give. Off the record, to be sure. Of course, if he's unconcious, I could just pluck some hair and take his wallet...or if near my car, tie him up with the various horse gear I keep in the trunk. <cold grin> BTW, your 'attacker suing' scenario - which has happened - is why some of the personal defense advice I've gotten is "off record." <grimace> Debbi Sometimes It's An Ugly World Maru __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
