I had a laptop stolen just before Christmas. It was worth maybe £100, so £50 to them at most, but it had a few thousand pounds worth of EICR's for a laboratory on it which I had to redo.
There's bankers and politicians thieving from us from the top out in the open about it, and there's scum from the bottom creeping about nicking our stuff, then there's us working hard but getting shafted from both ends. What a life!
Can I suggest to everyone it is vital to back up files for precisely this reason. Might seem like rubbing salt into the wound here....but....
A very large site I do day to day repairs at had an EICR carried out over many months by another contractor using a subbie. At the end of the job he fecked off taking the laptop with him never to be traced again. The contractor had to flood the site with sparks for a couple of weeks to do the whole lot again before the agreed finish date. Cost them a fortune.
Getting a simple backup from the subbies laptop once a week would have saved all that.
If you do EICR's on a laptop and don't back up this WILL happen to you at some point.
