Our theft threads this year could have been solved by:

1) Not shipping millions in cards to a hotel delivery room.

2) Keeping an eye on the case with extremely expensive cards or locking them in a case too large to effectively snatch and grab.

3) Locking their car in the parking lot.

4) Not leaving expensive cards in a unattended vehicle.

Basic common sense would have prevented all 4. A victim of a crime is not at fault, but a lack of common sense will make one a likelier victim in an imperfect world in which people do bad things. Extremist solutions are not relevant to what has actually happened, especially violent nutters looking for an excuse to display how tough they are.

One small edit above.

As a dealer, it's a safe assumption that your cases (or the ones you are renting) have locks. All it costs you is extra time and care to fully utilize them.

"I spent my money on the Clapgo D-29. It's the most impenetrable lock on the market today. It has only one design flaw: the door...must be CLOSED!"
