Stolen? How can one steal a whole PC? I can't imagine that. Maybe cause
I'm living in a very lawful surrounding! If I could feel with her I
would but I can't even imagine such a horror scenario!

I probably won't be in touch with her again until she gets back online. 3
hours to Australia is enough for my phone bill for one month.. :)

Well, it happened like this: A group of people kicked down her back door,
stole her computer, her boyfriends computer, all their CD's, some movies, a
VCR, a TV, some of her SR books, and her binder of SR cards.

Luckily, she had her hard drives with her on vacation, as well as her
harder to replace SR books and her jewellry. And the burglers didn't find
her tickets to the Metallica concert :)

Actually, I can think of it really well, because I caught up with some people
that stole and ex's computer right after they suffered a fire. Oh yeah, that
really pissed a few of us off. And they claimed the "3-Fold Karma Rule" (Yes
Tobias, if you read this, it's part of what I was telling you about). I
nearly, personally, killed them for what they did. In the end, I revisited
the "rule" upon them, and created the most unholy havoc I could come up with
as long as they remained in town.

In Short, yes, I can be VERY vindictive....

I hear you on that one...2 hours to Rune in Norway (okay, the secret's
out...), and at least 3 hours to Calgary (did I get it right Bruce??) all
within one month...yep...discovered the $300 dollar phone bill in no time at
all... :)

OH SHIT!! (sorry for the language)...that sounds like a massive insider
information job and a very "teknogeekish" hit if you get my meaning. IF it
were me, I'd be in "Hunting Cycle"...

Oh in a way that is a fucking shame...those tickets had numbers and the
numbers could have been alerted to the police...if they had used them, then
they could have been jumped readily....

Oh it can be done and as practice shows us its fairly often, have to dig
it out again but in the last two weeks was a univesity in Germany robed,
several Sparc stations and even the mainframe where stolen over night.
I have the whole list laying around somewhere.
