THE INFAMOUS LAPTOP

We have never been high tech travelers. We have our cell phones but don’t text or have apts. I traveled with a Kindle until it stopped working. It was very frustrating because I didn’t have anything to read on my trip.

Recently Kent has been traveling to Los Angeles for a court case. He needed to work with the client, pre court hearings, interviewing witnesses and finally this week was to be the trial. Kent decided that it was time to break out a laptop computer.

 At the first stop of his trip, St. Louis airport security, his laptop was stolen. Security was right there as well as many cameras. Within 20 minutes his laptop was recovered and he was at the gate ready to board the plane to Los Angeles. All was well and he considered himself very fortunate.

Once in Los Angeles the judge informed him that the court was a little behind schedule and their case wouldn’t start until next Tuesday. Kent came home to enjoy family time and get some work done. Kent’s law partner decided to remain in Los Angeles. He would take a few days off and enjoy the cool temperatures (70 degrees) and the beach. Kent left the infamous laptop in his law partner’s room thus avoiding the possibility of losing the laptop while going through airport security.

The next day Kent got the call informing him that the laptop had been stolen by a member of the hotel staff and the hotel was looking into it.  All other laptops in the room were untouched. It appears that we are destined to travel low tech.
