Not the finish line he hoped for

Eugene Nolan's #20 car was stolen last week. After competing for over 30 years, he may have crossed a different kind of finish line. As reported in the Indianapolis Star, the truck and trailer were also stolen.

The trailer also contained a spare engine, spare parts and tools. Nolen stated that he was not certain if he could continue to race due to the theft.

Think about all the small and medium size business owners who depend on their tools and equipment to do business on a daily basis - electrical contractors, plumbers, remodelers, HVAC contractors, landscapers, lawn maintenance services (the list could go on, but you get the point). How horrible would it be to find their trailer full of the tools of their trade gone - stolen?

And what if they have no inventory of these items? How difficult would it be for them to make the list of each tool, manufacturer, cost and when purchased? How much would be forgotten? How much would not be replaced? How long could they be 'out of business' while trying to get all this settled? Enough with the questions...what is your answer?



Seems to me an ounce of prevention...
