There is zero evidence that Pit bulls will destroy your house more than a retriever or similar sized dog.

Retrieving sales numbers that were almost a year old and five miles away from my target property was useless.

Pacer is another way to retrieve this, but you will need an account and you pay per search.

But even more interesting is the fact that none so far that I've spoke to will allow me to contact references or students whom are currently enrolled in their program to retrieve their input on how the program is working for them.

Once the funds are sent they are not retrievable. 

A lot of areas only allow them to be posted on the weekends now and smarter landlords post them on sat morning and then retrieve them sun night.

I saw I got a message on BP but when I attempted to open it, it said I was "banned". Not sure what is going on. Can anyone advise?

I no longer subscribe to the Sunday LA Times, hence I have never stepped on an acorn while barefoot in order to retrieve and read BP.
