It only took a moment of me becoming too comfortable with my surroundings...it was part of my daily commute. It took me a while to get over the shock of having lost it, especially when I realized how much data was on the hard drive and how many useful files that I lost. Never got it back, but learned my lesson.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-82245713203757541502007-06-12T17:34:00.000-04:002007-06-12T17:34:00.000-04:00Nice lady, and a good reminder.

It is a mac afterall, who wouldn't want it? Be careful Cip, you don't want yours to walk away. And you really should get Jack to some AA meetings. His drinking is getting out of hand!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-58107970616667084392007-06-11T23:09:00.000-04:002007-06-11T23:09:00.000-04:00I can't believe I made that many mistakes, sorry: ...I can't believe I made that many mistakes, sorry: thieves, and then I actually know the difference between "they" and "the" and "do" and "to".

I mean, a laptop is essentially the most expensive item a person can have on them in most common situations (assuming you don't wear jewelery direct from tiffanys.

Needless to say, I left Kiev without a single photo because I had my films in there too. <BR/>I had my handbag dangling on the side of my barstool at Demel's one day, when one of the Demelinerinnen warned me to hang it in front of me under the counter (the have hooks there, like in church, for the ladies' handbags *g*). Then one fine day I wanted to leave, and my handbag was gone. I looked everywhere, under my stool, beside it, nada! Too make it short: I had actually left my place (do make a couple of photos, of course), and a Demel's employee' had spotted the abandoned purse, asked if it belonged to anybody (and since the careless owner was not there) taken it for safekeeping to the register). You cannot believe how relieved I was when my trusted Demelinerin said to me, "I can't believe you did this!"<BR/>So,yes, watch your goodies. There are occasional thiefs out there, and then there are the organized professional ones, who begin watching you and your habits long before the zero in on your treasures. <BR/>Thank you for the warning!Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.com
