Well, we sorta got off topic of OP here, and I'd sure like to learn if he ever found the problem.
BUT - there is a statement I'd like to comment on:That's what I was always taught as a kid growing up, make sure if you wish to steal, what you're stealing is really worth your life. I've heard of folks getting shot for stealing a watermelon from the patch in the hill country.It's the thief that decides that an item is worth *dying* over.
