I gladly accepted to attend a health fair the other day with anticipation that I could develop some exposure and PR for our new optical studio. What I didn't know was that I was going to come out on the raw end of the deal.
I performed many adjustments and minor repairs as I descreetly promoted our new loacation. I had my optical tools and Misc. equipment which I use for nursing home visits in a small case on the table. It was easilly accessable as I routinely used many of the tools.
Upon noticing one persons segs were out of alignment, I went for my lens turners. However, they were GONE. I used them on another persons lenses about 10 min. previously so certainly I know I had them and wasn't crazy. I quickly assessed my inventory of tools and also noticed that my lens clock was GONE.
I did recall a few shady characters coming by while I was servicing some people but didn't anticipate any problems. Upon my findings, I immediately put things aside and walked around to try locating them to possibly approach them to reclaim my tools but they were also GONE.
I don't know why someone needs my lens turners and lens clock but I certainly learned a lesson which will set me back at least $125 to replace what was stolen. I just hope it wasn't a spineless "CLEP-TICIAN" who now has custody of my personal tools.
Sorry for the whining but I had to vent.
