Unfortunately, all the casual thief needs to bypass this method is a $.99 pair of pliers. Our cheap solution that has never failed is to drill a hole through the top-back of the case, and through the back panel of the case, and run a cheap padlock through the two holes. The thief would need either bolt cutters, a very large crowbar, or a hacksaw and a lot of patience to defeat this scheme. -Mark -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mark McCallister CIRCA Operations markm@grove.ufl.edu University of Florida 392-2428 Go Gators! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
