I was working late in the computer lab at school, and got home about three AM. My Amiga was gone (so was the cat, out the open back door). I called the police, and eventually found that they had picked up the robbers (driving around at midnight with no headlights), and had recovered my Amiga, three hours _before_ I reported it stolen. I picked it up from the police crime lab that afternoon. Naturally, I attribute this entirely to my revolutionary Fast Acting Solution for Temporarily Burgled Amigas Crook Kibosher routine, FastBack (tm), written entirely in Abasic to prevent it's being ported to anything. ;-) I'd post FastBack, but the response on shareware has been so poor... ;-) Kent, the man from xanth.
