Stone Detective
Protection Racket
Continued from page 28
Once this water becomes trapped it can result in all kinds of problems. Stones with iron content can begin to ox- idize, natural salts within the stone can become dissolved and cause pitting and spalling. Aesthetically, the stone will ap- pear darker since it is constantly wet.
I have seen this problem nu- merous times when stone is ex- posed to this condition. I have even seen this problem occur in showers, especially shower floors.
I told her it would eventually dry out but was going to take a while. I also told her the next time the building is cleaned not to seal it. In this case no protec- tion should be necessary.
Stay tuned for a detailed ar- ticle on this subject and the results of some testing being conducted on sealers in wet environments.

You Better Think Twice
Police in Massachusetts are looking for a woman they say intended to rob a bank but got cold feet and left without a confrontation or a penny of the bank’s money.
Fall River police tell the Herald News the woman walked into the Fall River Municipal Credit Union one Monday afternoon and ap- proached a teller.
Police say the woman hesitated, told the teller “give me a minute,” and went to a counter and wrote on a piece of paper.
But the would-be robber possibly had second thoughts, ripped up the note, dropped the pieces in the trash and walked out.
Bank employees pieced the note together and it said: “Give me the money.”
Anyone who recognizes the woman in surveil- lance images is asked to contact Fall River police.
