Yes, a thief *would* come in and steal the things - at least the cards.
When I was shopping for a building for my collection, I had the scrap metal
thieves in mind. I am not so worried about it now, as I live at the place
now and have taken several steps to beef up security, but for a time, my
fear was that someone would, for example, grab a armful of cards out of a
Cyber, instantly turning the machine into a chrome donut. Where would I get
replacements?

We, the big iron collectors, do not share this
information on any
sort
of registry. We are a secretive bunch.
Why is that, can I ask? I mean, it's not like a thief's going to come in
and
steal the thing (which is indeed the reason why collectors in other areas
are
often secretive) - it would take a truck and a crane, for most models!

Have you read Lawrence Wilkison's account of
rescuing an S360/20 in
NZ
when he was a student?
Cool story; thanks for the link - but the page says it was a 360/30. (The
smallest 'real' 360 - the 360/20 was a lobotomized 'sorta' 360/.)
