My next door neighbor was robbed about a month ago, most likely while I was home, and I am dumbfounded how someone has the nerves to walk out of a house with a mattress (in your case) or a big screen tv and down a long set of steps, and a number of other big ticket items (in the case of my neighbor).Like Joshua mentioned, lights on timers are a good idea, but I imagine that these are not your garden variety criminals that are used to stealing packs of bubblegum from Walmart.

Management had decided to go up to "gold star" status, this meant the following expenses for each owner; granite countertops in kitchen, flat screen TV master bedroom and living room, stainless steel appliances, new furniture, etc.

Our Previous home that we had furnished and decided we wanted to start again so we left all the High end furniture, paintings, plasma TV's ect...

A Canadian viewer contacted me and asked if it was possible to accelerate depreciation on business assets the same way that it can be done on income property.

Contrary to all the B.S. on TV, inflation is going strong.

Here's something of interest I recently discovered:When yellow pages called to renew and I said I was reducing the size of my ad they offered me a discount.....When I called my TV cable provider to say I needed to save money and how could they help -- they offered me a discount.....When I called my subscription coffee service (that's right - I'm an ADDICT) to cancel -- they offered free shipping and handling.....Times are tough out there for everyone.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a movie made about this- at least one made for TV (you know AT LEAST lifetime will do it haha)

I didnt realize how much of a deception the whole show is,,,it looks good on TV but google his name and READ the threads on people with the TRUE inside story!!

What if he does that then buys a new TV or goes on a weekend trip?

They want to keep us in fear and watching TV!
