I have no clue about NERD and thier practices, but, I can say that I had a "BEST" friend steal from me one time(I knew him for 10+ years). I don't think that it is a bad idea for anybody to know where this took place. Maybe, just maybe, one person that affiliates with NERD knows of this enchi but has no clue that it was actually stolen due to the fact that out of respect for Kara and Kevin nobody has said anything. Regardless of who is envolved, the whole situation has sounded fishy to me from the start. If I was in NERD's position and one of my hired help or volunteers ripped a snake off that belonged to truley "best" friend of mine, I was would not hesitate to fire every single one of them and hire new help. Not to mention, if I did not already have surveillence(which I should due to having one the most pruceless collections in the industry), would have surveillence installed.
