Or else you'll end up like me. I had my computer stolen from my flat 2 nights ago. I don't really want to get into all the details of the theft since re-living all the ridiculous facts will only work to infuriate me more. Plus there's an ongoing investigation into it by the police. Although, if anyone here ever wanted to be a detective, you can PM me for details and I'll give you the numerous facts which have left my head spinning for the last day and a half. It's such a weird crime that I'm not as angry as I am curious at this point as to the hows, whys and who(s) of it.
That's not why I wanted to post this, though. I don't really care about the computer itself as much as I do about the files that I lost. Specifically, the thousands of pictures which I'll never get back. It's especially rough since this semester I've been studying abroad in London and have been to 8 different major European cities in 7 different countries in last 3 months. A good portion of the pictures I took from that time are completely gone. Thankfully, I posted albums from each trip on facebook meaning that I do have about 450 of the about 1000 pictures. Besides the pictures I also lost every paper and drafts of every story that I have written over the past 2 years. There was also 4 days worth of music, but I can start to rebuild that when I get a new computer.
The thing that really hurts is that I planned on backing up all my files when I returned to the states and now, unless by there's an act of god, I lost everything on my computer. Not too mention that much of my personal information was easily accessible because I stupidly saved passwords on Firefox that I should not have. That caused me to cancel my debit and credit cards and means I am broke until a new debit card arrives. Hopefully that will happen before I have to pay rent in a week and a half.
Please use my tale so that this situation does not happen to anyone else on this board. If that good could come out of my ****ty situation then I'd at least have some solace.
