Dishonesty is everywhere in our daily life. It includes keeping something that was not paid for left in the shopping cart to taking or incorrect change from a store clerk. I don't leave anything of value in my car when I go to appointments, but what about when you're out shopping for the day? I try to cover items with an old blanket but there is no guarantee even with this method. There are anti theft devices available on the market that attract attention of passerby something is amiss and maybe, just maybe someone will use their cell phone to call 911. Everything gets blamed on the hard economy. In every economy thieves are thieves from penny-anny to high profile. Quilts are high profile art objects. I hope they all are found and returned to their rightful owner.
