Sucks. I seem to recall a similar issue in NYC back in the early 90's where a storefront owner electrified his shop-front gate (or some such) to protect against repeated theivery -- and eventually someone got electrocuted. I can't find an reference right now, but I distinctly remember it. Oh, yeah -- the shop owner got prosecuted for manslaughter, if I recall correctly. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.3 (Build 3017) wj8DBQFI8DxRq1pz9mNUZTMRArGCAKCc2Sq9YpWq8sj/RU3MsB8H1E0GmwCg829s PlVyXodCHh9XIx8vOLe/nkE= =iZ4B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
