Stolen Aussie TiBook

[Les Posen]

Hi all,

On the eve of my departure for a US conference, my home here in 
Melbourne Australia was burgled.

My PB/800 (purchased July 2002), recently upgraded to Panther was one 
of the prized items taken in a quick hit and run.

Panther's iDisk has backed up a lot of the day's work automatically 
(phew - $100 very well spent), but the inconvenience factor is 
enormous, as passport and ID was also taken, as well as an STM backpack 
in red (like this one 
http://www.standardtm.com.au/backpacks_sports.cfm)

I didn't have Filevault running, out of apprehension more than 
laziness, but did have a "dummie" account to use with fast user 
switching, so my name appears in the top right hand menu corner.

They new owner will have to either crack my password or wipe the disk 
clean - it is partitioned in 5 parts, so they will have to know what 
they are doing. I would, in the event of it not being returned intact, 
prefer to think all the data has been wiped clean.

Naturally, all internet banking and other password-protected sites, 
including email has been changed, and I am trying to do a Timbuktu-type 
recovery should a user log on. There is no autodial since I was on 
cable.

Anyway, for Aussie owners, please keep an eye out for it. It is fairly 
clean, except for some paint chips on the hinges.
