There was a multi shop hop in my area Fri and Sat. There were 18 smaller LQS represented. I "had" to run back again Sat to pick up something I forgot and had to hear one of the vendors tell me how they had lost (via a shoplifter) 5 kits. Each kit was valued between $85.00 to $110.00. Don't people realize these LQS are independently owned and that is the person's living? It is no wonder so many of them are having to close their doors.
Sorry to "rant" about this, but what has our society come to?
