Our spool of custom 3-conductor ultra-flex cable is missing! The entire
future of the company is hinged upon the return of the precious wire
this morning. We must have it to build Gumball games.

In the past people would come and take a handful of terminals or a
length of wire, but it seems now the rage is to take the entire
bin of parts, or the entire spool of cable. 

This is not acceptable.

Please get up from your chair and return it right now.

My apologies to the people this message doesn't pertain to........

The missing cable has not been recovered, however, we have discovered
the the cable strippers that are adjusted to precisely strip the very
delicate cable are also missing.

We would just like to commend the scum-sucking-dog who took our cable
for having the good taste to take the right tool for the job. 

Please be aware that you should just twist the tool once, then bend the
jacket to break it free, so as to not nick the wire underneath. It is
kind of a tricky operation so I wish you good luck with it.

Bye for now....Oh by the way, we have just one tie wrap gun left if
anyone would like to come and take it.
