Yep, I used to settle for yelling at kids (and their parents, when I found them) that thought it was funny to set up super-soaker or water balloon ambushes along sidewalks, but anybody that soaks my $300 Coronado vest (which I am rarely without) is going to be dealing with the police, and quite possibly my attorney.KBCraig wrote:Many of us carry expensive electronics devices everywhere we go, and a $400 cell phone or $600 PDA + water = instant death. ( Death for the expensive electronics, that is.) Not to mention wallet, receipts, personal notes, shoes, belt, clothing, any variety of things that could be ruined by a dunk, and we're rapidly approaching property values that constitute a felony.
That's not even counting the $200 cell phone, (mostly irrelevant since I have the protection plan on it, but it will likely take a day or two to get the replacement out here in the boonies, and notes, address book entries, etc may be lost) the $300-plus handgun, (I usually carry stainless or Gun-Koted guns in the vest, but sometimes I take the blued classic GM1911 for a spin) books, (dual concealment pockets leaves room for a paperback-novel-sized book in the left-hand-draw pocket, and I enjoy reading rare/expensive books) other electronics, (geek with a ham license, there's usually something beepy or blinky running around) or any of the various paperwork I often carry. I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of repairing or replacing all of it from water damage cleared $1500 on a heavily laden day.
