My wife and I had called our homeowners' association to send someone round to check our window frames, which had warped. A few days later a carpenter shows up with his teenage apprentice. They got to work, and while they checked the window in the study I worked in the living room (I work from home). Being a trusting soul, and in my own house, I never even thought of locking away any valuables.But when they left, I couldn't find my phone anywhere. I tried phoning it, but it had been switched off. So I phoned the homeowners' association to get the carpenter's number, which they wouldn't give me. But I told them the story (actually, I said my phone was missing, and was it possible that it had got mixed up with their tools when they were tidying up), and 15 minutes later the carpenter (who looked pretty reliable, an experienced professional in his mid-50s) called me to say that he'd checked their toolboxes, and made his apprentice turn out his pockets, but nothing had turned up. But he said he really know the kid, who'd only been with his firm for a few weeks.So there was nothing more I could do. I had no proof that the phone had been stolen. I'd only had it for a week, as well. But what was really irritating was that it was my business phone, and until I replaced it (with the same number) my clients could only contact me by E-mail.Needless to say, anytime anyone comes by who I don't know, I keep gadgets like that locked away or on my person. Experience: what you get right after you needed it.</blockquote>
