Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-06-04

Exactly

And don't you think that the second something like this happened.. they fixed it. They always take the best care of there customers. It is thier policy. They have one of the toughest security systems possible. and it is thanks to the morons that try stuff like those kids did. They may have gotten into it.. but they sure were caught in a quick hurry. You can bet somthing like that won't ever happen again.

So I say yes "Thank You Lowes" thank you for careing, thank you for giving us clean stores, knowledgeable staff, for careing, and for doing something about it.
