No screws holding the case together, or even holding

in an attempt to prevent theft (i guess it stops dumb thieves who cant
figure out hwo to ether remove teh paint, or paint over the paint).
Gasoline apparently works to remove spray paint from painted metal
surfaces (perhaps plastic surfaces as well?)
Never tried it, but I saw it demonstrated on The People's Court one time
in a vandalism case. Worked like a champ.
