I moved to my present crib in January of this year, and a little while later some idiot broke in and stole my desktop speakers with a smallish but powerfulish woofer, a worldspace satelite receiver and cash. The idiot didn't think the computer itself was more valuable, so he left it behind.
Sucked big time. But it could have been worse (the PC).

Andrew SA, lose the roomie. I thought a roomie was supposed to be someone known to you and somewhat a friend. I guess in the UK things work differently, but here in Kenya no one is going to live in the same house with a complete stranger just to split the rent and utility bills. A room mate would have to be a pal, a former college or school mate, someone from your homw area, a cousin, that sort of thing. And of course you normally wouldn't expect the above mentioned persons to steal from you so blatantly. Normally.
