A few weeks ago my MacBook Pro (recently bought during a rare trip to Miami) was stolen from my vehicle while getting my cedula in JCE. Completely my own stupid fault, my laptop bag was in plain sight behind the drivers seat. I felt horrible (and still do when I think about it), while I had lots of work related information there and besides I was happy after 25 years being a PC user, to finally have made the switch to Apple, and the money I paid for it was actually an unplanned expense, so I can kind of imagine how you feel. Just the fact that some punk takes your stuff.

What I did realize though is that I got kind of affected by this small 'disturbance' in my life and it made myself wonder, how will I feel if something serious happens to me/my family, an illness, or whatever. It made me think about priorities in life, that slowly have been moving towards possessions instead of the real purpose of life.
