theft at Diesel

[bratling.livejournal.com]

hey folks,

worth mentioning that a friend of mine had his laptop stolen from Diesel cafe earlier this week. he left it unattended for a moment while fetching something from the counter (if i recall correctly), and someone picked it up and left with it.

since i've been known to leave my laptop unattended too, this got my attention. don't leave your stuff unattended. i'd thought of diesel as a "safe" zone; it appears that some people take advantage of this assumption.

(although while i'm at it, nobody has claimed the Sony MemoryStick i found at diesel last month. if you've lost one recently, drop me an email and tell me what color it is, and i'll send it to you.)

Are Memory Sticks generally some color besides purple?

heck if i know. i just assumed most of them are black, like most other little consumer electronics thingies are. i use compactflash -- never actually seen a memorystick in the flesh (err, plastic) before.

based on your post, i suppose that's not a good identifying characteristic. mostly, i want whoever owns it to get whatever data may be on it.

Original Sony Memory Sticks are powder blue; Lexar ones are translucent purple; Sony Memory Stick Pro (256MB and up) are white.

ah! this one's a solid matte purple.
