They grabbed my wife's laptop. She backs it up onto a 128GB thumb
drive, but that was lying on
table, so the scumbags took it too.

BTW they also took one of those Paywave credit cards, and racked up
quite a few small purchases before
it was cancelled. We will not be replacing it.

Off-site backup is not a luxury, it is a requirement for any
reasonable backup strategy. What happened to your wife is just one
of the reasons.
