Dealers at Winner's Circle, here in Berkeley, have made a few commments of
software theives and vandels raiding their store.  These people actually try
to copy commercial software in the store.  Some even steal the actual disks!!
Some individuals try to infect the machines with viruses.  Some individuals
steal or otherwise screw up the PD disks.  (This especially pisses me off,
because Winner's Circle usually allows peple to make copies of Fish Disks
free of charge)  From what I understand, usually the offenders are minors.

Winner's Circle is a small shop, crammed full of Amiga, Mac, ST, and IBM
hardware and software.  They're usually quite busy, and therefore they 
cannot watch everybody all of the time.  As a result of these theives and
vandels, many services that should occur (i.e try out a game in the store
before you buy it, easily get the latetest PD stuff) cannot.

Any other dealers have this problem?
