[Leica] How many M8's - two almost lost in a robbery!!

Hi Luggers,
I have two at the moment - but last night was a close call. We have  
recently moved houses on Lantau Island and last night we were  
burgled. I went to bed at about 11:00 p.m.. But, I had a premonition  
and got up at 11:30 and moved my Domke 803 camera bag, with the two  
M8's in it,  from the office into the noisy air conditioned bedroom  
where we were sleeping. Sometime between my going back to sleep and  
4:30 a.m. (when I got up to pee) an illegal immigrant* pried open the  
locked kitchen window and stole my wife's mobile phone and her nearly  
new Mac Book. Our Pekinese "guard dog" slept through it all (old,  
blind and deaf - he sleeps in the kitchen). The "I I" even got down  
on the floor and unplugged and took the charger for the computer. The  
police showed us this morning the scratch marks on the window frame  
where the "I I" wedged in a special tool to pop open the window lock.  
Fortunately we have householder insurance so the losses will be  
(mostly) covered. I am speaking to ADT tomorrow about installing a  
monitoring system connected to the police station. So, I still have  
two M8's but it was a close call.
Cheers
