something to think about

Some thank you's are in order, and some prayers answered. AUTOCLUB Paint & Collision was broken into Thursday night. They bypassed the alarm by gaining entry through a window they smashed, as the door contacts were not compromised, and they stayed in the office away from motion detectors. We didn't have motion detectors in the office because that is where the shop cat Pepsi lives. The low lifes made of with my new computer which they ruined because they ripped the wires out when they took it. They also got my pool cues and an expensive car scanner. What got me most after all this was my cat Pepsi was missing, gone out the window we thought.
The thanks needs to go out to The Windsor Police who arrived within 30 minutes to do the report. Security One who our alarm is with arrived within the hour to check the system and install glass break sensors. Better Locksmith's who arrived shortly after that to replace the locks with new keys as the thieves took spare keys to the building. Zuliani Glass who repaired the window, again the same day. my insurance company Bevan Insurance, and AVIVA for their quick response, and my employees for cleaning up and putting the office back together, Jeff, Zippy, Darryl, Richard. Especially Sheila who had to deal with all the missing invoices from the last two weeks, no easy task.
Lastly the prayer that was answered was we found our cat Pepsi, she was so traumatized from the break in that she jumped 8 feet into the ceiling over the furnace and hid out there for two days not making a sound. It took some coaxing to get her down, and she still does not like being near the window that was smashed, other than that she is fine. Thanks everybody Dennis.

A Christmas story for anyone looking for hope, a coincidence maybe, but it doesn't make it any less true, it happened to me. If I remember correctly it was Christmas time, 2002, a year, and 4 months after 9-11. Like a lot of businesses, business was bad for me then, I remember going to the shop about a week, maybe 10 days before Christmas, and not a car in the shop, no work for well over a week now, and the only time the phone rang, was when people were looking for me to pay my bills. I was the owner, and also the only employee, and as I looked around my empty shop, I thought this is it, after Christmas, I go to my lawyer and start a bankruptcy claim. In the meantime, what do I do in a spotless empty shop, and I remembered an old Christmas decoration left on the roof by the old owners, Roberto Paglia, and Vince Gigliotti. A Christmas star, what better way to take my mind off the inevitable, so I got the latter went up on the roof, and kicked around the snow till I found it. Once inside the shop I welded up some broken spots, and off to Canadian Tire for some new bulbs, plugged it in and surprise, surprise, it lit up. Then I grabbed an extension cord, some zip ties, the star, and back up on the roof. I had everything ready, and by now it was about two in afternoon, the star was up, the only thing left was to plug it in, so I did, and it looked great if I do say so myself. Then the miracle happened, or coincidence if you prefer, seconds after I plugged in the star, I hear a voice calling my name, no not God, it was Al Santing from next door, Santing's OK Tire, yelling Dennis, you got a minute, I said sure, I am coming right down. It seems he had an accident with his new truck, I priced out the parts, and he said order them, WOW, a job for my empty shop, but it gets better, he told me the other car in the accident was on its way here. Five or ten minutes later, the other guy showed up, another job in my empty shop. I don't exactly remember everything in the next few days, but the jobs kept showing up, suffice it to say by the end of the week I had over ten thousand dollars of business in the shop, and the phones were ringing again for work. Since then I have had that star up on the roof every year, I have put new lights on it at least four times, and welded it up, every time it needs repairs, as far as bankruptcy is concerned, I think I am long past that now, but I always put my star up, just in case.
