If I had seen anyone doing such a thing, I am thinking his casting arm might have wound up broken somehow!
I had heard all the "theft" stories having been involved with the MSBA show for a few years. So with my display I ran a table across the front to keep folks at bay, they were able to see the plugs we had to offer in the locked display cases and when they wanted something we simply removed it from the peg board behind us and completed the transaction. We also let a few folks at a time come into the booth to look so as not to have too many folks in there at one time. Its a shame because it would be nice to have that open feeling for folks to browse but I could not afford the cost of the theft and it was just my wife and myself there. It worked out great I thought. I know the Aquaskinz booth is a bit more "interactive" so maybe this is not an option....that is a shame Kadir. #^^^^&heads are everywhere!!
