Re: Anyone ever had an iSeries stolen?

Pete,

I feel for you, guy! We keep ours behind several layers of locked doors and a pretty competent burglar alarm ... for us, that would be right up there with having a heart attack!

I seem to remember a story in the AS/400 media several years ago about an AS/400 owned by Daewoo Australia being stolen / deliberately damaged by vandals ... the story used to be at http://www.as400.ibm.com/australia/daewoo.htm ... but IBM has since removed the page from the web site (see: http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/199904/msg00085.html ).

I want to think that IBM has an indicator in its service database to indicate a stolen system ... place a service call on it, and the police show up with the CE????? Anyone out there know if this is true?????

Here's an article about a stolen AS/400 spare parts ring ...

... just my $.02 on a slow day ...

I am guessing an iSeries is relatively hard to peddle.  I am wondering if
there was ever a recovery if yours WAS stolen.

We had a good backup and there is nothing on the thing except development
code and test files but, we sure need something to write code on (it is on
lease and IBM is working to get us a replacement).

Just wondered if anyone had had this wonderful experience and whether they
ever saw their iSeries again....

BTW if you see a smoking deal on a model 800 and you have to pay shipping
from Utah, let me know....
