Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary?
New submitter sc30317 writes "My house got robbed on Friday, and all of our electronics got stolen. Everything. Now, I have to go out and buy all new electronics with the insurance money. We had five TVs (don't ask), three laptops, a Bose Sound dock with iPod, a digital camera, and a desktop stolen. It's looking like I am going to get around $10K from the insurance company to replace everything. What would you do if you had to replace ALL of your technology in your house at once? I'm thinking:
replace TVs; nice Desktop; new speakers; and new, cool stuff I don't know about (suggestions welcome). I already added a DVR security system, so hopefully the new things won't get burgled! Looking for suggestions to utilize my money in order to get the best stuff. Also, no Windows computers allowed in my house."
If you need help to decide between two models of laptops* and two models of desktops**, I don't know what kind of help you need.
* MacBook Air or MacBook Pro
** Mac mini or iMac

I hope that last part was sarcastic. Do NOT take Joe Biden's advice. He advises shooting into the air to scare away burlars. In many states warning shots are a felony. Right there you've got all you need to know to not listen to him.
The other big dumbass moment of his is that he recommends a double barreled shotgun over the AR-15s he wants to take away from us. That means you'd get 2 shots. Hope you don't miss or your ass is dead. And if there's more than 1 intruder? Good luck with that.
