Default Re: Don't trust Flo.

Back in the early 1980's I had a couple of fellows break into my garage and steal a bunch of tools and parts. I had State Farm Ins at the time. While they did me very well on some of the race/HP parts I was appalled about the tools. I had nearly all Craftsman that were handed down from my Grandfather or purchased by me when I worked for Sears in High School. They depreciated my tools! Craftsman! Lifetime warranty! Breakage guarantee! I argued till I was blue in the face, but I came out so good on the parts, I came out about even with what I had spent. It did not replace the sentiment from my Grandfathers or make up for my employee discount when I purchased ones while at Sears. I ended up with much less than I had when replacing my loss.
