Stu and Gladys
Our hearts and prayers go to you both at this most distressing time. The good news is you are both safe and unharmed. The bad news is much of your work efforts dedication and stuff are lost or compromised. The good news is you have lots and lots of friends on this site to help you rebuild J At the risk of repeating what you may already know, I offer a few thoughts: 1) Notify everyone you can about the break in. Police of course, but also all your financial institutions – especially credit cards. Identity theft is a real threat in this instance, so suggest you notify all credit bureaus so someone else can not open an account in your name. 2) Did you have any back up routine in play for your files? I learned a long time ago the value of daily backups for my old business and certainly recommend that for everyone on this list. If so that should be a big help in recovering data files. 3) Do you need help obtaining replacement computer hardware and software? Just holler!!!! We all could very easily be in your shoes – but you have all of us to help rebuild Chin up, smile on and carry forward John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Stu Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 11:59 AM To: C&C Email List Subject: Stus-List Photo Album Update Updating the Photo Album is going to be pretty slow for a while due to an unfortunate incident. Gladys and I were away for a couple of nights and during that time, our house was broken into. We are still trying to determine what is missing but so far we have estimated close to $10,000 worth. My desktop computer, flat screen monitor, and accessories are gone – and almost all the software related to the Photo Album. All of the software and patterns for the decals, etc. is gone forever – at least they left the vinyl cutting machine. Fortunately the culprits did not value Gladys’ $8,000 worth of computerized embroidery machines and just left them alone. Mind you they broke one hoop for doing the hats and it is close to $100. They found every drop of alcohol in the house including the “bucket of booze” I won at Christmas time. I had a collection of 15 limited edition HO electric steam engines and every one is gone and will never be replaced or seen again. We had security in place and it was by-passed. They took the bulbs out the motion detection system, broke the door window and crawled in to remove a security bar preventing the door from opening. Sorry for the long blog – short part is we will be back up and running once the insurance companies decided on what value they are putting on the items. FWIW – don’t assume your house, car or boat is secure. Take every precaution you can and even then it will not be enough. Stu ‘n’ Gladys
