Ok, so I was in my living room with my wife last night working on some stuff together on my mac when we heard a noise from her study. She ran into the room, with me just behind, only to see some asswipe jumping out the window with her Cinema Display.

So I go into hero mode and run out the front door in only shorts and a t-shirt and start chasing the motherfucker down. He’d already jumped on a pushbike but couldn’t really ride it with a monitor under one arm. He jumped off his bike and we faced off. I was screaming at him to put the fucking thing down, mind you, I’m living in Germany at the mo so he didn’t really get me (I was in a rage and English being my first language, it always seems to pop out first when I’m pissed off). I’m thinking to myself………should I punch/kick him? Hang on……..he might drop the monitor…………..so whilst weighing up my options another motherfucker turns up. They start speaking Turkish together (one of them trying to look menacing) and I realise another guy is behind me.

So, that’s it…………..I backed down cause I didn’t wanna die that night and lost a beautiful monitor, all in about 60 seconds.

Yes, we called the police and they came and then the criminal police came to take finger prints and yes, we’re insured. But you know how it is, insurance companies never wanna pay; they have a particularly bad rep here and now we have two macs and only one monitor and my pockets aren’t big enough to afford another display just yet.

God I hope insurance comes through

Slightly unnerving is the fact that the police said now the thieves have seen a bit of what we’ve got, they’ll come back for the rest. Going out to buy myself a baseball bat this weekend!!

Will let you know how insurance goes.
