Firstly if anyone hears of a 2nd hand acer laptop being sold, let me know immediately.

Secondly, a brief story. I was at a friends place in the forum in the city, I walked out to my car at midnight (an hour ago) to find the rear passenger window smashed and my laptop stolen.

I was obviously pretty upsett but felt my insurance (NRMA) would come to the rescue.... nope! Sorry, we don't cover other items in the car.

Now the fact that my $2,500 laptop was stolen and apparently uninsured is upsetting, what really hurts is that being a real estate agent my whole data base is on there which translates to potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost business over the years ahead.

Fortunately, I have my phone synced to my database so I will maintain most of the basic details, allowing me to rebuild it to what it used to be, over time.

No real point to this post other than I can't sleep and this helps get it off my chest.

But that's life I suppose and these things happen, not such a huge deal in the big scheme of things.

But please, keep an eye out for any dodgy suspects trying to sell a used acer laptop, I'd like to have a brief "chat" with them.

Yes been through that exact same problem (except the car was stolen as well).

I now have shannons preium home insurance that covers up to 20% of household contents in the car. Otherwise you can get unspecific and specific insurance for items in the car (personnel effects) from most big insurers.

Did you look in the bushes around the area? We had a laptop stolen from a car in Dickson and found it the next morning looking around the bushes nearby. I suspect they were kids who didn't want to carry it at the time or didn't know how to explain to mum and dad.

That's terrible. There seems to ba a spate of this kind of sh!t at the moment. Our bikes (pushies) got stolen some time on thursday morning from our locked storage cage in our 'secure' carpark. You could imagine my delight to find an empty cage when i was on my way to work, but on the bright side they didn't touch either of our cars (yet).

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
