I've got one for ya. A customer of mine kept having cars on his lot
stolen and / or vandalized. "Why don't you get a big dog?", I asked.
"Because that cost a friend of mine ten grand", he replied.
Apparently his friend kept a dog in his office at night, after being
broken into several times. Well one night a guy broke in and got chewed
up pretty badly. The theif, was caught, convicted of burglary, and even
did time. And you guessed it... He sued the business owner and the
case was settled by the insurance company for $ 10,000.
Only in America!
