Hi people, Daniel here just catching up on my email and when I came across 
David's terrible experience, I imedioutly felt a mixture of emotions. Shock, 
anger that thieves do this and the end of the world if it would of been my that 
had my Mac or any other personal equipment stolen! I don't suppose it will help 
in anyway but did he have apple care for his products? I can't do anything in 
the realms of money but if anyone knows David personally on this list then I 
would be grateful if you could tell him from me that I have enjoyed his input 
on here, his help when I have had a Mac problem and his articles that keeps us 
informed on Apple updates from various websites. Also tell him from me that 
although at present it feels like the end of the world I hope that this 
terrible situation resolve into better and stronger things! For example if 
David receives donations from people, the money might be enough to get him a 
even better mac than the one that was so injustly nicked from him! The only 
other two things I can say that for the apple products that were stolen, as 
well as calling the police what about giving apple a call and explain the 
situation and the other is, I am just glad that no harm came to David 
physically. My thoughts are with you David and I hope you have a speedy 
recovery from this bad experience and get your tech stuff back over time. 

God Bless You!

Daniel
