Getting back into the spirit of writing (if there even is one), I found myself stumped today with where to pick things up from my somewhat lengthy absence. It was only as I was trawling through my G+ feed, searching for a source for inspiration that I was startled by the high-pitched, irritating tone of a security alarm fitted on the newly built house next door. Not showing an immediate concern for whatever was happening next door, I tried to drown out the sound with tunes but to no avail - 'Gimme Shelter' just wasn't the same with an alarm sounding in the background. After a good 3 minutes, I checked outside my window to see what all the fuss was about and realised the slip-up was caused by a real estate agent who had no clue how to turn the alarm off.

we'd need to know the location of our mobile telephones one day... |
It was then that I began to think about security. What would happen if you lost your precious gem of a phone at a restaurant, or on public transport - or worse yet, it was stolen. How would you react, and what methods do you have in place to safeguard any data that may be sensitive?
