Periodic reminder that I’m not here any more. I’m mostly on Insta and somewhat on Mastodon. Currently I’m mostly posting about my dog’s knee surgery.

@caveatemptor20 @iainoneil Not guilty.

I would just like @bennetts_bike / @lv / 4th Dimension to do what they told me they'd do and return the personal items that I know they at least had and which were specifically not part of the settlement.

[Chris Raettig @[email protected] @raettig]

I took out insurance via @bennetts_bike which was underwritten by @lv. My motorcycle was stolen and I used the tracker to help the police recover it. There was some damage so I allowed the insurance to recover it which was handled by 4th Dimension Innovation LTD.

I'd really like to put the bike theft behind me. This has been a really upsetting period and I can't move beyond it until this is settled. I am already significantly out of pocket. And I am getting nowhere with getting my things back.

My tracker is now showing at a residential address in Kingston on Thames. Does whoever has it know I can track their every movement? This seems at best like a GDPR breach.

Had an old friend and his sprog staying with me. They were playing a word game where you must remove one letter from a book title to change the meaning. I turned to my bookcases for inspiration and could only see The Count of Monte Cristo.

A difficult end to a difficult year. But we all have our coping mechanisms.

In my late teens I thought giving up smoking would be straightforward: Just stop shoving cigarettes in your face. This, it turns out, is actually the hard part.

[Chris Raettig @[email protected] @raettig]

Oh go on then.
