Bert -

Just to point out the obvious - you are a physician, which makes you a target in some people's minds. You need to be wary, and protect yourself. (I don't mean to sound doomsday-ish).

Just a little anecdote: When I opened my micropractice, we leased a small converted house that had been someone else's practice. They had an alarm system which we intended to not use - trying to keep costs down, safe town, no narcotics on premises, etc. The week we opened, two practices nearby were burglarized - mostly computers were taken, as I recall. But we heard the message the universe sent us, and we are paying the $30 a month to the alarm company.

It is a very vulnerable feeling to be burglarized. Take care of yourself. Here's to your, and your family's, safety.
