--"i have been to all the porn shops but they are not inerested"

We seem to have incompatible vernaculars. Below is what we mean in the USA. What do these words mean outback?

[fence] (verb) to sell stolen goods, (noun) a person who will buy stolen goods.

[pawn shop] (noun) a place where one can borrow against deposited collateral, e.g. jewelry or an empeg. In the USA pawn shops are often fences.

[porn shop] (noun) a place where one can purchase explicit sexual graphics . These places are rarely interested in the resale of stolen empegs.

In any case, I'm glad your insurance will cover some of your replacement cost. Sounds like a good time for a hard drive upgrade. It's still probably worth it to drop by whatever Aussies call pawn shops. GOOD LUCK!
