Are you sure they just didn't look at their bank account after Red Sky and realized they were 200K in the hole?

Seriously though it sounds like they were just too cheep to spring for the security upgrade and it ended up screwing them.

Don't worry, some insurance company will make it all better.

Funny, 4 days after this was posted on eomahaforums, it is now "premium content" on omaha.com. good thing people are paying for a story that MSNBC had a almost a week ago for free.
