Hear hear!

If one chooses to be nonchalant, one should do it with one's own stuff...
not with objects that belong to the people.

I have a funny feeling that this will also turn up.
Anyone who opened it and saw NASA on the disk should
know it is worth something. I suggest the authorities
scan the pawn shops in the area.
I certainly hope it is found, and the thief caught.
The person who's car was broken into should be
punished. Leaving something like that in a car to be
stolen reeks of irresponsibility.
