Funny you bring that up.  I was at a strip mall yesterday and a kid,
probably sixteen or so, walked up and complimented mine, then wanted to take
a look inside and stuff and talked about how he was trying to find one

He might have been casing it so he could steal something, but I prefer to
believe that he really liked it!  (What is it about getting older that
breeds distrust of teenagers?  Oh yeah--I used to be one.)
