We just moved into a place in Northwest Portland Oregon. I'm with the kids and we hear glass shatter and a loud thump - yep, rock through the window. Sweeeeet.
Net, I'm talking with the guy replacing the window today (though don't get me wrong - the cardboard looked great) - he tells me the days of smash and grab are over - most of the time when he's replacing a window at a business, thieves have broken and entered not for merch or cash - they make a beeline for the offices in the back and steal files. Crooks now are looking for names, addresses credit card numbers, checks.
When most folks think of identity theft, they think hackers or stolen computers, not a rock through plate glass and a file cabinet disappearing into the night.
Sorry to hear that, Renny! By the way, you inspired me to set up mobile photoblogging on my blog. I'm having a great time with it.
