I think maybe you have gone to the other extreme now!  I don't know how you
feel about tools, but to me the only things I have that are more personal
than my tools are my cameras, because good tools are a lifetime investment,
and many people abuse tools (e.g., use screwdrivers for paint scrapers,
putty knives for screwdrivers, etc).  And my car... I would never let people
drive my car... I mean, what if they run into something?

Other posessions, e.g., books, radios, etc., are a different matter, but
I think one must draw the line somewhere; and this, in my opinion, is
a matter of what they can do wrong with the particular item.
