I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Brisbane’s been the new Seattle since November. Yesterday was the first rainless day we’ve had for two months, but it was too late for that.

A friend of mine had his own idea of how the burglary took place, and put together this artist’s rendition of the events: Personally, I would have preferred to be robbed this way. Everyone likes to think they’ve been outsmarted by the cleverest of the clever.

That leaves me with only my retro games for comfort.
