Yup.  One of our customers had theirs stolen.  Never saw it again.  We
bought them another quick that we found cheap used.  After a while (after
getting the insurance claims together) they bought a new one.  We can't
imagine they were able to do much with it and we suspect it ended up in a
dumpster somewhere.

btw, are you in Utah?  Our customer that had theirs stolen is also in
Utah.  Maybe Utah is having an outbreak of iSeries thefts?
