Yesterday I saw first hand the good and the bad in people.

The Good: After chatting with a fellow breezer he was kind enough to gift me some surfing gear when he could well took some money for it. I thought how nice are people they are so kind and giving still.

The Bad: As I am on cloud nine thinking of how good people are some bastard broke into my car and took my work bag, with my laptop, work diary, ipod and a bunch of other stuff. I have since realised I had taken all of out baby pictures from 0-12 months off my wifes iphone and backed them up on my laptop. They were erased from my wifes phone so unless their is some magical way of retrieving them they are gone forever. I haven't told her yet as its just so upsetting.

WTF is wrong with people, I would give that crook $2000 just to get those photos back. Funny thing is computer is locked and they don't have the charger so they wont be able to use it.

That sucks mate and I'd do anything for those photos too, get if out there and mention the baby photos that should or could work good luck

Good idea mac .....i was lucky and somehow my photos were linked to my Google drive.... Maybe you had some cloud **** ir something?

Good luck bro

Fark that is ****... Feel for you mate, losing the photos would hurt..

Have a look online at Iphone photo recovery sometimes even if they have been deleted the Tech heads can get them back..

Sorry to hear that McHenry, I hope you are able to retrieve them mate. It is a good idea to somehow get the word out there about the photo's in the hope of appealing to someones better nature.

The idea of backing up data of any kind is that there is one copy on a not so safe device such as a computer or phone prone to going walkabout or suffering from some kinda virus or unwanted crypto locking. And another copy should be backed up to an external hard drive which remains in a safe place like your home. In the case of special data such as photos. Backing up the backup is a good idea. I always buy the largest external hard drive on the market when it reaches what I consider bang for buck. Like the seagate 5TB I bought from JBHIFI a few months ago. I then backup all my most valuable data to it like photos/video (raw & edited) & continue using it. So I currently have about 6 backup's on external hard drives. The only data on my PC's is the programs that run on it.

That doesn't help you now mate I know, saying it more for other people really. I was a PC techie for 9 years & sentimental personal data loss is very common...hope ya get it back & if not. Hope your friend's, family & missus facebook account at least amount to allowing for some retrieval of your kids first year of pics.

Got to say its one my favourite sayings,get a f2cking job like the rest of us.
Good luck retrieving your bubs photos,they mean so much more than money, sad.

Just wondering if there is any CCTV near where you were parked that has some footage..just a thought.

Hope you get them back.

Oh for farks sake brother ..... that sucks hey ..... pop into the closest Apple store I do know they can retrieve stuff like pics using cloud admin

Unfortunately it seems nowadays for every good fella there's 2 or 3 bad bastards who just have to ruin it

Best of luck finding something returned H

Sorry to hear that mate.the ugly side of people & ugly side of modern technology.

i lost years of photos from a trashed laptop.
I do remember saying to myself, I've got to back those photos on my HD.
but never did.

Looking into this app. Very interesting
