bastards

my laptop was stolen yesterday. so was megan's. it was 12pm and we went for a coffee at a busy shopping complex in the safest neighbourhood. the parking lot was full. lots of security guards around. we put the laptops under the front seat, locked the doors and returned 30 minutes to find them gone. i can't even tell you how upset we are. ALL of my photos are gone. ALL of my work and research is gone. nothing was backed up. i have no idea what i'm supposed to do at work now. there isn't a computer for me and everything i've been working on is lost. i don't even want to start over again.

we were furious with the security guards. did they not notice someone breaking the car lock? i hate to be suspicious but wonder if they were in on it. i'm sure there is a lot of money to be made from these breakins. the police came,but i don't have much confidence. as much as i hate it, we made if very clear to the cops that we'd buy back out laptops or pay for info in helping us get them. its a very small country and word has gotten around fast. everyone is putting the word out and hopefully someone will know someone.....

we 've also told the local internet cafe. they thought that perhaps people had been watching us for awhile. we often go to the cafe and use wireless there so they thought it had been planned.
i'm trying not to be angry but i am . it was also my computer for when i go back to school in the fall.
