Re: Rockshop Albany - High End Guitars taken ...
It's getting pretty epidemic here in the Tron. Mainly gangs of teenagers who steal a car and then use it for a ram raid. There are shops with plywood temp windows/walls up all over the place.
My work is in an industrial estate but backs onto a suburban area where we park our cars. My workmate scared off a group of teenagers who had broken into and hotwired a subaru. It was the middle of the day on a street that gets a fair amount of through traffic. He said that they had all the tools and seemed to know exactly what they were doing. Scary stuff really

I see that it's been snowing again. Please stay away from your camera or else you'll give all of us (another) heart attack (and get all of us on our work computers in trouble) - again!

Re: Rockshop Albany - High End Guitars taken ...
Hope you won't mind the question, but when you experienced the last heart attack did you know what it was straight away? I mean, enough to summon help etc.? We had an old boy at Customs once who radioed in that he was having a heart attack. It wasn't like he just dropped or anything like that.
Anyway, hope you're on the mend Dave. I don't want to start paying full fucking price for anything...

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
