RE: Anyone ever had an iSeries stolen?

["Wills, Mike N. (TC)" <MNWills@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay... I have a question. HOW do you steal an iSeries? (I know it can be
done) I don't know what size an 800 is, but our 810 still is quite heavy and
I would think would be noticable if two people were loading it into a
car/truck. If it is the size of our 720, wouldn't they need a forklift?

Yup.  One of our customers had theirs stolen.  Never saw it again.  We
bought them another quick that we found cheap used.  After a while (after
getting the insurance claims together) they bought a new one.  We can't
imagine they were able to do much with it and we suspect it ended up in a
dumpster somewhere.

btw, are you in Utah?  Our customer that had theirs stolen is also in Utah.
Maybe Utah is having an outbreak of iSeries thefts?
