Ooh, that sucks
They should not touch your stuff....
BTW could it have been an action by the local IT person? As these kind of drives could be used as a hacking vector....

No just crappy new people. IT
No just crappy new people. IT is like a 40 min drive away, they steal food too right out of the fridge.

I know, hugs and sorry for loss doesn't help
People who steal are some of the lowest life forms in the world. They take another person's labors which is hours, weeks, months of their life. We like sharing our allotted time on this earth with friends and family. Things stolen whether they be physical or emotional are pieces of our life taken without our consent.

After numerous hard drive crashes and stick losses I have learnt that cloud computing is your friend. Dropbox or onedrive are great. You can edit your work without carrying it with you. I'll stop now before this turns into an ad!

Agree on the cloud comment
I use Onedrive and Googledrive.
alternate storage
the email service I use provides cloudspace so I've been using it as well as my flashdrive. Bailey I'm so very sorry some cretin swiped your work. I doubt posting a reward will help but its an idea.

Well that just fracking sucks
Well that just fracking sucks!!!
If it was me, I'd try to find out who it was and kick their fracking butt all over the parking lot.....Or not.
Depends on if you want to make a real bit deal out of it.
Just my opinion.
Good Luck
I know chances of it being returned are slight. Hopefully you will be able to recreate it, we'll wait, good wishes too you and yours
There was a lot of losses but i have partials
Of some of them on my hard drive.

sorry
I'm very sorry that this happened to you. I can understand the dilemma that it is caused you. I can never understand how people sell their soul for taking something that belongs to another. Being the thumb drives are not too expensive, it is a shame that this person had to stoop so low. The horrible thing is that what is contained on the thumb drive cannot be replaced. Take care <3 and keep on smiling :)
