Read about that the other day, he only got his Mac back after he started blogging as the police had mis-filed the report under "no leads" despite the fact he made it clear to the interviewing officer that he had all this software tracking things.

That said a G5 is a fair old size, and not as lift-able as laptops for those with sticky fingers (thats not discounting the possibility it is hot though).

Be a bit careful getting 2nd hand startup discs - they need to be for exactly the same machine. We have 2 macbooks, bought 6 months apart (one came with 10.4, the other with 10.5)  and the start up discs are not interchangeable. There's some copy protect thing on  them or something.
