Is it about breaking into things? I feel like we're dealing with the mob everytime we need a smithie.

The local guy around here is pretty cool. He goes by the name Mr. Key. He isn't shady at all and as a matter of fact, when I was a member at the fire dept, I locked my keys in my car and it was around midnight... He came right out and didn't charge me. Pretty cool dude if you ask me.

We use the same guy for all of our door projects to install and adjust the door hardware. He doesn't seem shady at all. But maybe I am just missing the signs.

Our guy we use isnt shady at all. Just because he pulls up in a van with no rear windows and the windows he has are tinted, and he has a big key on the side of his van going into an open lock slit, and Im pretty sure I saw candy falling out of his pockets last time, and the tear drop tattoo....I think almost everything else about him is normal.

OK, seriously tho, our guy seems normal. He really hates the back door of our store when it breaks tho, he has only had to fix it 20 or 30 times now! haha.

The fact that there is no real money in it.
