Got home this evening to discover that the fog lights on my Ford Focus have been stolen. There’s no sign of any other damage to my car - it’s worrying how easy it appeared to be to take the fogs out

I’ve reported the theft to the local Community Watch scheme, but so far this evening I’ve had no luck reporting it to the Police. The Community Liaison team are part-time (as in, not every day of the week), and when I called the number of my local station, the switchboard transferred me through to an extension that no-one answered.

This is my first experience of reporting something to the Police. It seems unlikely they’ll ever catch the thiefs or recover my stolen fog lights, but it would be nice to be able to actually report that a crime has happened Here’s hoping my experience isn’t as bad as Aled’s was.

My blog used to run on b2evolution, but no more. Unfortunately, b2evo’s admin interface doesn’t work inside Safari, so it was time to either upgrade (with no guarantee of succes with Safari) or to switch.

A few hours later, and I’ve switched my blog over to run off Wordpress instead. To fake the multi-blog feature of b2evo (which was b2evo’s killer feature), my blog’s homepage now runs a custom PHP script, which runs off the RSS2 feeds from the main topics. (The PHP script was a surprisingly interesting exercise, which I’ll cover on my new PHP blog).

Hopefully all the old links and feeds should still work too, but if you find any problems, let me know.
