Free Geek Robbed

Ellen Wilson writes, "Portland, Oregon, non-profit Free Geek, which turns old PCs into Linux boxen, has been robbed of about $4500 worth of hardware. Portlanders are asked to keep an eye out for suspicious sales of Ubuntu laptops." This blog post has some details of labeling that could help to spot the stolen laptops. BoingBoing picked up the story and added that another local outfit, the Independent Publishing Resource Center, which supports Portland's zine scene, had been hit on the previous night.

Skanky Portland

There are soooo many lowlife druggies and "Punk" kids there, I am not surprised by this burglary. Saddened, but not surprised. What makes me mad is that the locals there tolerate the losers that do this. Portland really needs some tough law enforcement to clean up the town.
