Thank you to everyone for your kind messages.


The police are contacting all of the local pawn shops and I have contacted all of the local music shops that I know of. It didn't have a security marking but I have a serial number for the instrument (18394). The only other details I can think of which might be useful are that it is a gold brass colour and is in a black backpack style case which says Paxman on it. I don't have a picture but if you go on the Paxman horn makers website then you will be able to search for the model and see a photo on there - http://www.paxman.co.uk/pages/alexanderhorns.html


My husband is a composer and he has also had his Apple Mac book stolen which contains all of his scores, the first chapter of his phd on it which was not backed up anywhere else, and lots of music software on it. It is white and has a 13" screen, it was in a black crumpler case. If you see anything in a second hand store which matches the descriptions then please let me know!


Thanks

Too late for your husband to follow this advice - but if you have broadband access it's a really good idea to e-mail yourself such things as PhD chapters, dissertations, any key work documents which might take time to re-write (gmail and many others offer 2GB storage for free) - that way theft (or drive failure) are not a complete and unmitigated disaster. This also protects against such things as house fires, where locally stored back-ups may be just as vulnerable as the originals.


If you save materal as .pdf files and have a Kindle you can also 'send' these via Amazon to your Kindle - another back-up opportunity.

Yes this is a good idea. He actually has an external harddrive which he backs stuff up on - the irony is that it has some sort of error/problem and the only reason he went out of the flat was to borrow a friend's spare one to back up his computer. In the 45 minutes that he was out, his computer was stolen!

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
