B&E's are NOT cool.
« on: December 31, 2003, 02:08:50 PM »
Not the best way to bring in a new year. The front door of my shop was smashed in last night and one computer (XP3000+) and a few monitors were stolen.
I count my blessings my server was still there and my gaming rig!

If you find out who it is Lmk and send him out in the country up here us country folk have places for ppl like this promise not to do again LMAO really sorry man, hope they get the ppl involved, the problem is that if they are jailed they have a great place to have fun (3 meals a day nice and warm to sleep, you know where im going with this dont you....) send them to the artic and make them survive...Thats my view point shoot now then ask questions later

At least you still have your modded gaming rig.  That sucks though.  You have insurance though right?

My computer shop wasn't the only one broaken into. Another one 2 blocks away was hit. I don't know what they got from that one. I hope finger prints.. Your right Seeker. It just gives them a nice place to stay for the winter and in 6 months they are back at it. The building I'm in gets hit about just that often. This was the first time they picked on my shop. Now to find out how fun insurance is to deal with.

Sorry to hear about your shop, it makes me mad that people take other peoples possessions and property so careless.  Hopefully, your insurance gets implemented and overwith quickly so you can get on with regular business.  Best of luck in the new year.

The fish are fine. They were a little cold and slow moving, but they recovered well. I think the thieves looked at that computer and thought that was just way to much work to take.. and it would have been.

Not to mention that you rig does have some "identifying marks" which make it harder to sell under the table.  Heh, it would have been funny, had it been stolen, sold, then brought back to you for service. . .

New slogan for modders:  Modding to prevent theft.

LOL, true as for mine if they can lift it they can have it!!! I think that the ppl involved might not be that stupid to bring the comp for service....but you never know only luck maybe...  Kinda makes you think about a security device for computers could this be a great adventure to market?? Im thinking about maybe a small 12 volt battery hooked to a coil off of a car or sumthing, i know from experience that these set you on your butt....hmmmmmm gives me an idea, going out to my shop!!! LMAO
