Theft of 6 million personal data from a large telecom operator."Shaken, not stirred" with AI and then: "Houston, we've had a problem here". Answer of this telecom company, a summary: Now that we have informed you as a customer, it is your responsibility to tread carefully in this minefield. Good luck.
On a more literal note regarding keys going missing, never set "home" on your satnav. If you drop your car keys, especially if you have your house keys are on the same ring, it is quite easy to find your car, then the thief selects home on the satnav, before you know it all your valuables are gone.

A wasted journey for the thief then. Unless its one of the small number still open.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

Our local police station is close to two M4 junctions and the local hospital; it’s open fairly long hours and is very busy, with the local ‘bobbies’ a pretty visible presence
