    You're missing a loophole here.  Someone could come to your house or
    wherever the server is, use plastic explosives, blow the closest door/safe
    door off, start up the puter, open up the db in pico, edit the obj's
    location, save & shutdown, buy a new closet door/safe, replace it, and
    leave after cleaning.  you'd never know till you surveyed the surroundings,
    hired 25 guards to watch over the physical area of the server, started the
    db and checked the location of the object.

    Come on.  I can't believe you missed something so obvious.  Next time, keep
    the stupid comments to yourself, and I will too :P

    Cheers in the over-hyped space of cyber,
