| Tone you did everything right, there is nothing wrong or stupid about dropping a wallet and then somebody else defrauding you, it's those t**ts entirely at fault, the decent person would either take it to the shop, the police station, your bank or any number of things.

| I've always wondered about this camera and thought it might only cover a maximum of two lanes, I always assumed it was the two motoway-bound lanes, since they ( especially the outside lane) are likely to catch the most people. The paper mentioned that the angle is too acute to read registrations, bu... |

Just make sure it covers customer's property being stored temporarily.
Also get a good steel filing cabinet and lock the laptops in there when you are out, or a safe if you have room or can find one which is big enough at a decent price. |
