<VV> Stolen Corvair

[John Sweet]

I have to agree with Larry.  I spent many months LA helping Larry with the 
new building and the area is not bad at all. During the time I was there all 
I saw were the high school students and the other resident of that area.  I 
never felt in harms way at any time.  All the prople that would pass the new 
shop would always says hello to us.  I never saw any "working girls" or 
drugs in the area.  We did however see that in the old shop that was in 
Gardena.
Harbor City is right next to where I lived when I was in LA.  I lived in 
Lomita.
I hope Dave gets his car back as it is a nice car.
