Hey Count.

You were there, looked into their eyes, spent the time and effort, so my
opinion about the event is worth as much as the paper it was (not)
written on compared to your experience. If the story related by this
family is true, it is indeed extremely sad.

I also meant no insult to your security abilities or capabilites, but to
use your own subject line, we all know that collateral damage often
occurs during times of self defense.

My concern is less for your meteorites or property, but more for you and
your family, as it would be for almost everyone in our community.

Cheers


Richard A. Kowalski

I wasn't cynical enough in my perception of whom I was dealing with. I bought the story. If the lady was a fraud, she sure had all the accoutrements to pull a scam on the more gullible. Still, my initial phone conversations are designed to eliminate this type of scam. She had to have known she was dealing with someone with more than a casual knowledge of the subject.

Those who are familiar with my background, capabilities and temperament will smile, as to know me is to realize that it is the visitor who is taking the risk coming into my lair. Adam, Greg, a Mike or two, Scott and other meteorighters who have visited and/or stayed overnight with the Countess, myself and our on property armed security guard, Ken, and my ever vigilant Doberman, "Schnapps", know that any attempt to perpetrate a felony will be defeated with considerable prejudice. But, your advise is well taken. Thank you for your concern.
