I don't think he had an accomplice, given your description, but the first guy always could've been a decoy so a second could step up and snarf the really good stuff. FWIW, I'd have a couple of friends back you up for the next show or two (preferably rather large friends). That's one thing about criminals, especially the stupid ones. They frequently figure that you've got to get a replacement for whatever it is they just ripped off, so they very well might turn up for a second shot at your gear. If you've got a couple of well-placed friends, they can grab the guy and you can all have fun twisting his arms out of their sockets.... --m. -- _____ "I want to keep you alive so there is always the possibility of murder... later"
