Damn thief!!!!
It was late afternoon when I made it to Kal and after chatting to a few guys I’d met the previous visits decided to hang around for the night. We had a BBQ that night and once again there was as much food as I could eat. But that night some scum stole some of my stuff.
I had some suspicions about who did it but couldn’t prove it. I waited around all day for people to come back from work in the hope that someone would have taken it for safe keeping or something but no joy. My external hard disks were taken and with them all my photos. I have some small low quality versions on my website so it’s not a total loss but still I’m not happy. All my music was on those disks and a few other things I was working on. In Perth I was worried about a possible disk failure so I splurged on a second disk and mirrored them but I hadn’t planned for some thieving gypo stealing both of them. The disk on the laptop is very small and I was not able to store everything on it.
So I was stuck another day in Kal, not such a bad thing but under the circumstances I was not a happy man at all. Next day at last something worked in my favour and a guy staying there was driving across the Nullarbor so I got a lift without needing to stand on the side of the road hitching. He took me all the way back to my bike that afternoon.
