Keep the Laptop, We Just Want the Photos
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008The sad story of Jimmy and Tamala Lapointe was featured on the front page of Vancouver’s tabloid, The Province, today. They had their laptop stolen from their car. The laptop had the only copy of irreplaceable baby photos–”the birthing room, his first time breastfeeding, everything”:
Thieves got into the car and nabbed a backpack. Inside was a white Apple MacBook laptop loaded with all Rykr’s photos. “I kept on thinking, ‘I should get that backed up,’ but we knew we were going to make a photo album,” said Jimmy. “It was dumb that we didn’t have a backup.”
Theirs is a cautionary tale. We’re hoping the thief has a heart, and that they get their baby photos back. Don’t let this happen to you–back up today.
