If anyone has a way to locate these goods and by this I get back my car, a reward of 500 euros will be given! The goods were taken from Alkmaar, The Netherlands somewhere between 2004-03-11 23:00 and 2004-03-12 07:30. May the force be with you!"

    I'm usually the first to bemoan non-news postings, but the fact is that slashdot is also a community (see "Ask Slashdot"). While posting every single theft report doesn't make sense, you have to admit that it would be cool, in this case, if the slashdot community came up with a way to track this auto down using technology, yes?

    No, civilized countries write dates either as DDMMYYYY or YYYYMMDD, you don't just juggle the digits around.

    Nobody would write time like HH:SS:MM ? Of course not, it would be just as ridiculous as writing a date like YYYYDDMM it doesn't make any sense.

    Or you could write dates like most airlines do 01APR04 or in this case 11MAR04..
