Who stole your Apple ///?
Who ? I guess some bad guys.
And under what circumstances??
They opened the basement dor on the backside of the house, and
worked their way up into the computer rooms.

Well, if your Altair was stolen and the pawn shop
owner hung out on the
computer sections of eBay, then it might actually be worth thousands at
the pawn shop :)
Its exacte wat I think hapened - the APPLE /// (no plus!) was
the most prominent device on the big table. I think he was the
only thing close to a PC in their eyes (An APPLE // 'tower' with
two Profile Harddisks, Monitor /// and an external Disk /// drive).
I think it will be sold on some kind of fleamarket. They also
destroyed some stuff, opened two originaly packed Atari 400,
trashed an Enterprise. They also took a prototype BTX telephone
unit an various small stuff - including almost all of my C64
and VC20 cartridges. Also one of the PETs is gone (an ordinary
4016) and, thats the funiest thing, the CRT of a Sirus - only
the CRT the computer and the stand is still available.
I'm very happy that they didn't know what was laying in front
of them - they took none of the KIMs or the other ols single
boarders, non of the real devices like SWTP or Heatkit.
My problem is that I should monitor now all major flea markts,
but I'm leaving for the VCF this saturday :(
Gruss
