Art Heist Professionals Teach a Valuable Lesson
April 26th, 2003
Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester England
Police say several “well organized” thieves heisted three paintings from some of the world’s most renowned artists:
Van Gogh’s The Fortification of Paris with Houses
Picasso’s Poverty
and Gauguin’s Tahitian Landscape
The thieves left an anonymous tip about the paintings’ location - sealed in a cardboard tube with the following note:
The recovered paintings were restored to their rightful places the next day. Needless to say, Whitworth Gallery security learned their lesson.

How to Stay as Safe on the Road as You Are at Home
My computer at home is password protected, in a room that locks, in a house whose metal doors lock several times over, all protected by alarms, motion sensors and a German Shepard that barks at 105 dB. I use a different password for every site I use, they all look like this: C6y9e2s10q and I have all the latest anti-virus protection. I never visit pirate sites or download ANYTHING unless I know exactly where I’m getting it.
This is life in 2012 – we can’t risk our stuff getting stolen because it would be damaging to our business or personal lives.
Safe as my data is at home, when I want to take files with me on my iPad I need to email them to myself. Then I have to open the attachments and save them somewhere, which is annoying. If there are a bunch of different file types, they get scattered all over the place and you need a new app for PDFs, then another for spreadsheets, etc.
The iPad itself is password protected, but when I open it I want all my stuff in one place, protected by another password. That’s why I use DragNSYNC. It keeps everything safe and organized. That way I know if my iPad is lost (not likely, since I use it 24/7) or stolen, whoever gets their greasy mitts on it has no access to my files. It’s like a German Shepard for my iPad.
