Ted Leung on the air: Open Source, Java, Python, and ...

On the way home from Northern Voice, we stopped off at the Vancouver Aquarium. After a fun time inside, we returned to our car to find the glove box open, a suitcase unzipped, and the pair of bags containing my and Julie's laptops gone.

Needless to say, this is going to a pretty major cramp in our ability to blog/respond to e-mail, etc, while we sort out police reports, insurance companies and so on. We really depended on those machines for day to day life. The impact of them being gone is still sinking in.

If anyone has tips for dealing with this kind of situation, we would really appreciate them.

Monitor http://vancouver.craigslist.org/ too, as well as http://www.buysell.com/ -- sorry to say, but Vancouver and our neighbouring city of Surrey, and the various suburbs, do have high car break-in rates, a consequence of some serious drug problems in parts of our cities.

Hope it didn't spoil your trip too much. On the plus side, it reminds me to take the expensive gear out of the car when we visit other places, and to continue with my paranoid backup strategy.
