Daylight Robbery

JustTony — Mon, 23 Jan 2006 23:12:44 GMT

Well, night time actually, or rather some time around 3am on Sunday morning while I was asleep upstairs. Some b*stard went through the house and stole - amongst other things, my laptop (a VGN-A197P).

After suffering a day of police visits and a house covered in fingerprint dust, I went out today and bought a VGN-A517S for a wad of money I didn't have (I had to get back online again) and my insurers are already being difficult.

Can I have some sympathy please? Please?

You certainly have my sympathies Tony, give the insurance company hell until you get recompense.

Yeah, I remember they have stolen TonyBeard's laptop from the car as he paid the petrol. (correct me if I'm wrong here.)

Thanks, ghuys. It looks like the laptops long gone, but the data on it is much more of a problem. oh well...

Anyway, I learnt my lesson, and have bought a Maxtor One Touch external hard drive... 200GB, and set to copy everything once a day. I'm also going to download MY Documents to CD-ROM at the end of every week.

Oh yes - I now have a baseball bat under my bed too.
