<body class='hmmessage'> <br>> My home in Great Wyrley was burgled some time between lunch time and 10 <br>> pm yesterday.<br>> <br>> The following were taken:<br>> <br>> A Lenovo/IBM X41 running Ubuntu Linux (and my life). Serial No. L3AA6CZ, <br>> Part No. US2F8UK It has the outline of a removed Ubuntu sticker on the lid.<br>> <br>> and: (off-topic)<br>> <br>> An HP laptop with about a 15" screen and a Telford & Wrekin asset-number <br>> or security sticker (my wife's work PC, running Win XP) in a smart black <br>> briefcase-style case.<br>> <br>> A Lenovo ThinkPad T61 (?), my brand new work machine running Windows <br>> XP, SQL Server and Visual Studio - I'm sorry! It had an E.ON asset <br>> number sticker on the front-let of the lid. Both this and the Ubuntu <br>> ThinkPad were in a new, black Targus backpack There were also a couple <br>> of memory sticks in the front pocket of the bag.<br>> <br>> A white Apple iBook G4, with worn-off key caps on the often used letters <br>> and a hairline crack in the right hand side bezel of the screen. The <br>> battery won't hold charge. This is my daughter's university machine, so <br>> it has OS X, OpenOffice.org, architectural models and a vast collection <br>> of music. Because she lived in a dodgy area of Nottingham it has UV pen <br>> markings in a couple of places and SmartWater DNA paint of her <br>> Nottingham Postcode NG7 2BX on the front edge, which looks like clear <br>> nail varnish. Serial No. is UV4251BRR73<br>> <br>> A white Apple iMac G5 iSight with a faulty 'SuperDrive' Serial No. <br>> W8547CGUTAQ. It contains my son's final year video project for his Fine <br>> Art degree. He has no backup of the last week of his work<br>> <br>> If you hear or see anything of this equipment then please let PC 5704 <br>> Goodwin at Watling Street Police Station on 08453 302010 know.<br>> <br>> My PC security tip - use ancient, crappy PCs with CRTs. Thieves don't go <br>> near them.<br>> <br>> <br>Do you have a local cash convertors or the like? That would be a good place to start, My brother was robbed and it ended up there.<br><br>J<br><br /><hr />Get fish-slapping on Messenger <a href='http://www.fishticuffs.co.uk' target='_new'>Play now!</a></body>
