So, what would you have done?

A locksmith in the USA has been arrested on a charge of stealing $500.000 in antique currency after being hired to open a safe after the owner lost the key.

Although the owner of the safe and the contents has since died, after the notes appeared at collector's auctions they were traced back to the locksmith who had put them up for sale.

When police searched his house they found further antique notes hidden in various places.

So, what would you have done in a similar situation? It's easy to be honest for a few pounds (or bucks) but when presented with a life-changing amount...

The theft will certainly change that particular locksmith's life: they don't let you off with a wag of the finger over there. And don't pretty much seem to care if prisons are overcrowded either!

Do the crime, do the time, as they say.

Geonovo goes green

Geonovo Ltd has redesigned the packaging for its Romad RSP-100 lone worker protection device as part of an ongoing effort to reduce the Company's carbon footprint.

"The combined weight of the RSP-100 and its packaging is now 39% less than it was previously," said Peter Lusty, Geonovo's Chief Executive. "The packaging is recyclable but we have nevertheless taken the opportunity to minimise the amount of materials necessary to deliver the RSP-100 to customers in good working order. With thousands of RSP-100s being sold every year, this will have a significant effect on our carbon footprint by substantially reducing our distribution requirements as the reduced packaging means fewer pallets are required to deliver large numbers of RSP-100's to Geonovo's distributors."

Introducing the new 3525 Electronic Rack Handle

- the Integrated Solution for Securing Data Centers, and other Enclosures

Rutherford Controls Int'l Corp., April 19, 2011 - One of the biggest challenges in business today is the protection of stored information. If not secured properly, credit data, financial details, business and personal information is at risk when stored in a server room.

The RCI 3525 Electronic Rack Handle provides a secondary layer of controlled access to complement the existing perimeter security. The functionality of a manual latching system - with the added benefit of electronic locking and monitoring - can be combined with any 3rd party access control device for a basic self-contained solution. The 3525 does not require separate controls and software, therefore providing a simple and cost effective cabinet retrofit.
