    Rigid TS-3660 Table saw with accessories

    I am selling a Rigid TS-3660 table saw. It was used for one project (built-in desk in my home office) and I really haven't used it since, I have a baby coming in February and going to probably need the extra space in my workshop as well. The saw is one of the best in it's price range and...

    Robbed :(

    It wouldn't have helped and let many that just leave their gun at home on their night stand, that would have been stolen as well. I also don't believe JUST a security system will help...it's got to be comprehensive. ADT and the like just rely on a sensor at the front and back door and then...

    Robbed :(

    A few of us tracked it down to a house about 5 blocks away. Very similar purple 4x4 with writing in the windows and stuff hanging from the mirrors. Also almost daily they had 'garage sales' of tools and other stuff. The local police (most of which have since been terminated) said it was too...

    Robbed :(

    A gun doesn't work when you are not home. If you left your gun behind and unlocked you added to the problem. If someone is breaking into your home when you are still there, you better be thankful of that gun (or whatever else you need to defend that place). I agree with dogs. However; they...

    Robbed :(

    Actually it did. I did cap my tool and electronics though which really sucked since when I signed up for that policy I let them know I had a lot of both. That forced me to downsize in the tool dept, but I am using my tools less these days since my income is better and I own new cars usually...

    Robbed :(

    Never expect an alarm to ever get you help. Having a dialer that calls the police/fire/paramedics as needed is usually your only hope of response. I have read tons of stories and even witnessed them first hand of neighbors just ignoring alarms. I sort of get this for car alarms esp in busy...

    Robbed :(

    jeesh, this was my thread. I am updating it in case anyone cares about a huge workshop loss. If you don't care, it's fine to skip ahead to the next one.

    Robbed :(

    They will also just roll the rollaway cabinets on to a truck. Back in the 80's like you found out were a lot different. For my claim they said a video would not be enough when I said I'd get that to them as I had it fairly recent even of most of the areas. They wanted receipts, owners...

    Robbed :(

    I installed and programmed the system myself. It's really not that hard especially if you have a mechanical/engineering type background. The company can assist with programming over the phone if needed or even pre-program and label your stuff for an extra fee. Most of my system is wireless...

    Robbed :(

    My neighbor was robbed right prior to me which was why I went out and ordered a security system. My back french door had pry marks (the police said they were pre-existing :(). Any way came back here to update that years later they still have not been caught and were able to clean out at least...
