I live in a safe neighborhood aside from the occasional petty theft like I have experienced. I don't leave my garage door up unless I'm in the front yard so it was my mistake to present a thief with the opportunity.

The Twilight Zone side of my brain wants to think that the owner's spirit made it vanish from the garage into the ether so-to-speak because over the years on display at his home there were lots of moments with company where somebody offered to buy it and he always refused.[/QUOTE]
