So. It is time to catch up.

First of all, I have taken Betsy (my previous computer, lost to the Compocalypse) to the Data Resurrectionist, and he says that the OS (which is pretending not to exist) isn't just the problem--some of the files are corrupted as well, perhaps 10% of them, but he'll retrieve what he can. God knows how much this will ( Read more... )

Re: asshole who are messing with your tires--

People really suck sometimes. There are some thug teens in my building who've been systematically breaking the lock so anyone can just walk out. They literally tear off the panel and rip out the wires. It's a big ol Eff You to the landlord and anyone who, you know, wants a secure building. I hope they catch your tire-tamperers and throw their thug asses in jail.

Your neighbourhood kids sound irritatingly sneaky and patient. Ours just get a bunch of keys and run with them down a line of parked cars. I hope they get caught.

Well, someone also smashed in a car window (ours) a few years ago one Christmas Eve. I can't swear that it's the same kids, because that's a bit much even for them, but...

Someone just did that to my friend's car. Thankfully the insurance covered it. I just love living in London.

Oh my lord I really want to see that article.

Oh, thank god I'm not the only one who read it that way.

Ugh, that sucks about your car. And your computer.

Our neighbour slashed our tyres once -- for some reason he went on a rampage through the neighbourhood slashing everyone's tyres in a spirit of youthful hijinks (only not that youthful -- I think he was 20!). Because he was an idiot, he also vandalised the car of a much-feared local gangster, who politely suggested he might like to leave the country for a while. In conclusion: you need a local gangster.

I love that you have a local gangster.

The funny thing is, it's not as scary a neighbourhood as it sounds... there's just this one guy who you do not mess with.

Once, this was known as "feudalism."

Ugh, destructive people suck. I mean seriously suck. I hope you can get some resolution on this soon.
