well, I've got some news on the break in:
The police got hold of the suspect and found the cases of some of our PCs, they have been outside next to a railroad track since the break-in and are more or less a pile of rusty junk now.
The insurance would prefer not to pay, I can understand that, the economy being in the state it is in nobody likes to spend money. But I'd prefer if they paid (for the same reason).
