HOLY SH$T!!!

Straight on the phone to the bank in the morning then...and Sentinel Card Services (other Credit/Debit Card Security Services are available)

And make sure you phone The Old Bill,I doubt if they`ll want to leave their cozy mess room to come out to take a statement but atleast if you report it,you can get a Crime Reference Number and quote it on any Insurance claim you may wish to make.

Sounds to me like a Chancer as any self respecting "creeper" would have taken anything that looks as though it would make enough for a few "wraps"

Like everyone else,it`s good to hear that no one was hurt as you never know what might have happened if your unwanted visitor was confronted.

If you`re going to look for Home Security,shop around (as I`m sure you will).Don`t just have a look in BBQ or your local Home Security R Us,take a look at what The Holiday Camp (Maplins) has to offer as well as everyone else in the yellow Yages/Googlie Local

In closing,this might well be a Wake Up Call for all of us to check our Contents Insurance policies.I know I`ve got £75K`s cover but there`s always the small print that scuppers you somewhere down the line.

Yeah...sorry TI,I looked on the Pentax site today.However,the site is offering version 1.10 and I`ve just checked my K10D and it says it`s got v1.30 already installed.

If you look at the Pentax UK website and find the downloads associated with the K10d, you will come across Firmware Upgrades. Download the latest K10 upgrade. Transfer the upgrade to a blank memory card. With a newly charged battery in the camera, run the upgrade from the memory card to the camera. Full instructions are on the Pentax website.
Download to SD card rather than via the USB cable?.

At RIAT 09,she wasn`t as LOUD as I had expected but the pilot still did an awesome job of showing her off...have to admit,one of the "Ground Crew" caught my camera`s attention

As a closing thought,if anyone is looking for a "good read",may I again suggest "Vulcan 607" by Rowland White (Corgi).

Thanks Kris...thanks Oggy...I`ve got a couple of tripods but never used them for anything bigger than my P&S digital camera of "that`ll do" style family shots at christmas....off to see Tom at LCE (Bristol) next week and see if there`s been a price increase since Dec 09.
