A Twin Cities drycleaner is held up by a "sharp-dressed" man "who had done so many robberies, he couldn't remember them all." A former employee revisits her cleaner in Fond du Lac, Wis., robbing $308 at gunpoint to finance her crack habit. A lone clerk fends off an attacker at her drop store with a straight pin. What's the worst that could happen at your store? For most drycleaners, the answer is armed robbery, which can lead to injury or even loss of life―far worse than any financial distress. Drycleaning operations are often targeted because they deal mostly in cash―the major lure for desperate criminals.
