Weh! It appears to have been stolen last night while we were in the house through an open window. It was in it's little blue empeg bag (irreplaceable!) and also had my pretty new Canon Ixus v3 digital camera in the front pocket. I am absolutely gutted. I have home insurance, but I've yet to see if they will pay out on a silly theft where someone left a window open. Anyone got any experience with UK insurance claims like this?

Also, does Rio Cambridge have a database of serial numbers? I have checked my invoice and manual and I can't for the life of me find it anywhere. Anyone remember where I wrote it down? The only place I can find a reference is my order number which is 99169001 but that doesn't look like an empeg serial.

Of course, let this be a caveat to the "always take it out of your car" proponents. If you take it out of your car, don't leave it near an open window overnight! :P
