pictured above is a pile of broken glass where my travel bag was only hours earlier. the bag contained my ibook laptop, two sketch books, a digital camera, a usb drive, shoes, pants, etc.
the police found the bag discarded only a few hundred yards from my car. it contained everything but the ibook. so, that sucks. most files were backed up except for some of the kids birthday photos and a few personal projects i had been working on. oh well.
obviously i would like the computer back, but i am very relieved to get the sketchbooks back. monetarily they are worth nothing, a few hundred drawings, none more than 20 minutes of effort (many documenting the time spent in airports during this project i am on). In the few hours when i believed all was lost, the sketch books bothered me the most. it was not just a theft, but a personal attack. I felt nauseous Until their return.
I hope the criminal enjoys the 4 hours of battery life, since he left the power cords in the bag. I also hope he enjoys the antiquated 800 x 600 screen, the cd drive held shut with tape and the cracked plastic case. He might be able to sell it for $150 if he is lucky.
meanwhile, does anyone have a need for freelance design help that would coincidentally cost about the same as a new ibook?
