Petty Theft …
I was just lamenting our inability to enjoy our long awaited vacation to Colombia this May to some clients of ours . We’ve lost some employees and our attempts to replace them have proven to be in vain and so our plans have had to be put on hold.
” Colombia ??” asked one of our clients ” Aren’t you afraid of crime ?”
I explained how I felt much safer in Colombia than I did in Ft. Myers and my only real look out in Colombia was for petty theft. I explained that it wasn’t wise to hold your phone out in plain view or wear expensive jewlelry while walking the streets ..
” Well I wouldn’t want to live like that .” said the client and I didn’t push the issue .
Two days later we discovered that someone has helped himself to the the four valve stem covers on my tires . They cost $1.99 for a set of four at Advanced Auto and probably cheaper at Walmart ….
Guess that just goes to show how fortunate we are to live in such a wealthy country….. what if people were really hungry ?
