    Woken at 5am to some noise. Go to living room, window open. Laptop gone. Wallet gone. Watch gone. Wacom and backpack gone.

    Been working on some music and personal projects and had been too relaxed in my backing up lately. Had become too trusting and complacent. Lost 4 months personal creative work.

    Trying not to be bummed out.

    Theft. Just don't do it.

    • You seem very rational about it. That certainly sucks but it is just stuff and at least you're OK.set
    • It was pro job to take stuff for money. They're not going respond to me begging for it back.shapesalad
    • Have no insurance. Not a strong believer in it. Just saved extra. Insurance probably wouldn't pay out due to forgetting to lock window.shapesalad
    • Just got to accept there's bad people out there, only a matter of time or bad lucky that we become their victim. So I should have been better preparedshapesalad
    • ... with daily cloud back ups and just in case cloud goes down, hd backups. Sucks to live 'in fear' but feels like you can't be so trusting these days.shapesalad

    • Lisbon. 1st floor. Window/balcony easy to climb up to. Window closed but had forgotten to lock it or only partially locked it.shapesalad
    • Heard them in my dream. Realized not dream. Woke up. Ran to living room. Window open. Heard foot steps running around side street saw nothing. stuff gone.shapesalad
    • Ran out, could see anyone. Went to local police station, they concerned, came to apartment, but no fingerprints or CCTV nearby.shapesalad
    • Hoping they switch it on and connect wifi and it locates it on find iPhone app. Password protected it... anyway.shapesalad
    • It's in the past. Lesson learnt. Don't relax, double check all locks. Double back up everything. New mac on its way.... Today we control. Tomorrow we plan.shapesalad
    • Typo. *couldnt see anyone.shapesalad
    • Windows open fully in Lisbon apartments as it gets hot in summer, different from U.K. Windows. Anyone can fit through them.shapesalad
