I've never experienced any burglary attempt, touch wood. Nor to my knowledge any of my VR/ARS chums. However, and its a very touchy "however" - several VR/ARS chums have related instances of "paid for stuff"(left under a table) being snaffled by unscrupulous folk at BVWS Swapmeets &/or AR/VMARS sales, in the past.
I used to regularly have a table at a local ARS surplus sale, and when I first started - one of the regulars warned me to keep an eye on a certain individual. Right enough, he was a shifty looking character, and eventually the organisers banned him.

Regards, David
