@christineburns@mastodon.green @AlisonW@fedimon.uk @susankayequinn@wandering.shop In 1990/1 in Watford, the SOP for the RAM gangs was to hit office parks. Find an open window at the back and send in a team of kids, under the age of criminal responsibility, with mailing envelopes. They'd strip all but one RAM stick and put the rest in a mailer which would go out the next morning. Then waltz out past security: "sorry, guv, I was following me football, accidentally kicked it through the window". Absolutely untouchable!

@cstross@wandering.shop @christineburns@mastodon.green @AlisonW@fedimon.uk @susankayequinn@wandering.shop the university used to lose all the ram from student computer rooms, in one case when cornered in the loos by security they threw a machine out of the window in an attempt to appear "clean", the crash followed by a car alarm going off gave them away.
