Thanks, Jen who commented with the sad ending to her great day in Venice. I appreciate the commiseration! And isn’t almost hard to remember those pre-email days?

Now that several months have gone by and I’m used to my new PDA, it seems kind of…funny that I got ripped off in Vegas. I always lose money there anyway, this time it was just less direct.

I’m afraid Keith’s right–this is a reminder to always back up everything!

If it helps, I’ll commiserate with you two times:

This past summer my hard drive crashed and I wound up forking over $1k to a data recovery service. Ouch!

Long before email, the internet, etc, I did a post-college Eurorail summer. Towards the end of it, I spent a lovely day in Venice. After my companion for that day–a perfect gentleman and very easy to be around–departed, I went to make a phone call. I got to the booth (remember those?), found my backpack open, and my address book missing. All the contacts I had met that summer-gone! The info re: how to contact the friend who had made the reservations in the South of Spain a week later–gone! Addresses for aunts and others I owed postcards to–gone!
Worst of all, the guy mailed me a set of lovely 5×7 prints of our day together, with no return address. I suppose he figured it was in my address book.

That’s horrible. WTH is wrong with people? I wonder if they’ll start making some with chains like they do wallets. My uncle had his stolen right out of his RV and he really liked it too.

How awful for you! I often think of your earlier hotel lobby BB loss when I put my BB down in a public place. This is just too much!

I am sorry to hear that your blackberry phone got stolen! but I am happy to see that you are still in a good mood and sharing the wonderful time that you spent in Las Vegas!

I think the greater loss would be not so much the hardware (presumably, it’s insured?) but the information in it. I trust it was all backed up and password-protected?

Next time, place a small explosive device inside it, so that when it gets stolen, you just dial your number and BOOM.

It will ensure that you find it…and the thief…in pieces.

Oh, bummer. I’ve been robbed, too. It is such a horrible feeling (for me it was my entire suitcase on a train) of violation. Glad the conference was good, though!
