Crappy Way to Start the Week

We've been robbed: Oh, how I wish that was the punchline of a joke, but it isn't. Fairly audacious burglars broke in Saturday night (probably around 3:00) and stole a ton of stuff. My computer. My laptop. Gill's laptop. His camera. Our bags (including wallets with credit cards, ID, drivers' licenses, etc.). We've spent the past two days dealing with police, insurance adjusters, and endless red tape in replacing critical ID, etc. With no computers, we feel as helpless as babies stranded on a desert island. This does not bode well for 2007.

If you have put off doing a thorough backup for a while, don't put it off any longer! You never know...

I'm sorry about the robbery. As bad as losing the stuff is, losing the feeling of security in your own home is worse. Thankfully, you and Gil are ok.

Hnag in there and remember - it's just stuff.

You should install an alarm:
tape Nadine across the sliding glass glass doors. She will give a warning, Meehhhhhh, if they are opened during the night.
