Well I wanted to update everyone on what happened. I met with the two owners and also the guy I took the $400 check to several months back. Both checks were from the same customer. They were happy to get the check, but didn't give me a gift card or anything like that. Nobody seemed even the least bit upset about my opening the letter. I assured them that even if the check was $1 million, I still would have brought it over to them. One of the guys said he would have his crew save any extra wire they come across for me. He said they frequently have sections of 20 feet or less that are too short for them to use, even in a home installation (high end audio and security is their business). They have my contact information. We'll see how it works out. The experience was much better this time than last time. Maybe that is because both owners knew I was giving them a check for $15k. Time will tell...
