If someone did not steal mugs they would sit in the bar be used over and over till they break or are so worn no one would want them. Thats why it is so hard to find a Kahiki Hoffman Mystery drink bowl. They did not sell them, Plus they were too big to steal. I had ash trays made for my restaurant With the name on it so people WOULD steal them.( alot of people asked to buy them and did.) But the ones that were stolen are saved and I hope will be out there a long time. Keeping the name of the place out there for a long time. Thats why you put the name on there. Also the high price of those drinks is to make up for theft of mug,spillage,cost of doing business. [ Edited by: tikiskip 2006-08-07 16:12 ]
