Back when
I was in the UK, I had a ground floor flat in the ever wonderful area of Rock Ferry, and my modem dongle got shite reception inside, so I used to leave it sat out the window ledge, where it got a mighty 4 bars instead of 1.

One hot summers night, whilst I was playing an online game, I'm suddenly stuck in a huuuuuge lag. I quit and try and restart the game, nothing. Won't log in. How rare.

I then note I have no active internet connection. I restart the computer a few times. Still nothing. This is odd ... hang on ... Yeah left the window open and some scrote stole the modem and it took me quite some time to work out what happened.

Rock Ferry... didn't the Queen have some tarts nicked from a window ledge by a hooded knave from that postcode too ?
