[QUOTE="klein, post: 570909, member: 23950"] I actually co-owned a corner store here in Edmonton with my brother. We knew, before we even opened, that we would get robbed at some point or time. That's even here commen sense to assume that. And we have once (in those 2 years). I'm honest and must say, I wasn't present when the robbery took place. I came in, maybe 2 minutes after it had happened (from getting store supplies), cops 1 min. behind me. I must admit, my brother was shaken up a little, he didn't even think the robbery was for real (thought someone was playing an aprilsfool joke on him). We even made a half page in our local newspaper (Edmonton Sun), because I decided to tell them our story. BUt, can't say, he or we were in streesed out over it. We did get better, quicker and more alarms buttons set up, and also improved our surveliiance cameras. And, yes, we didn't take our job as sleek as it once we thought it was. But, thats part of the job. JUst like UPS drivers need to watch out for thier vehicle and the content at all times. Fedex vehicles have stickers "we carry no cash" on thier doors. But, yes, in the end insurance paid us out (rather quickly I add, too). The robber hasn;t been found though. Police had a trace dog on site... but it just lead to the backalley and went cold (meaning he had a getaway vehicle sitting there). Reason we sold a year after that: Just not enough income to support the both of us. (and trust me - never get into business with family - doesn't work well). There would be a lot of causes I would die for. I would die for a lot of close people of mine, that have family and kids that love them. Take thier place instead (if it came to that) Even volunteer, to be the hostage at a bank robbery or something like that. I'm single. Besides, I do believe in some sort of an afterlife(have my reasons). And being a good person all my life, may or may not pay out one of these days). [/QUOTE]
