Due to a low life piece of S*** I have had most of my Amiga gear stolen.
Yes the Police do know about it but as yet can not prove any thing as yet.

I mostly need a Amiga OS3.9 disc or an ISO image I have backups of a lot but not every thing. My Amiga was taken I do have a spare mobo I can use and a spare PSU.

What I have left is this.

Joystick
spare Amiga mobo with 3.1 ROM's
Spare PSU
Spare 3.5" floppy drive unit.
Spare mouse.
I still have all my magazines.
I have 1 spare DVD burner and 1 spare CD burner.
1 spare case and keyboard before it was all put into a PowerTower case.

I do know I can get the spare mobo up and running if I can get a hold of either a Amiga OS3.9 disc or an ISO image.
I have got another Harddrive from eBay to get started with.

Gutted yes I am totally 100% gutted, I have lost years and years of hard bought and found Amiga gear to some one I know but can not prove a thing as yet.
This is going to take me a long time to get to the point of where I was before it was all stolen.

Any help of a disk or ISO would be most grateful.

TIA.

Mike

If you have access to a PC then just get on a certain Captain Jack themed website and search for "Amiga" and you can download a OS3.9 ISO from there.

Where was your stuff stolen from? Your house or was it in storage? I hope you get it back.

Sorry to hear that, but since it sounds like you know who did it, why not just point the police to his/her place?

I did but when they went there he had nothing.
But the word was, it was him who took it all, he just isnt that stupid to have it at his place just yet. And it was me who got the warning from the Police don't take the law into your own hands. Its the same old thing knowing and proving are 2 different things. A lot of others know it was him, but the Police have to many things on at the moment but if they find out any thing they will let me know.

Yes this is how they work.................

Speak to these "others" and see if they can find out where it is stashed.

Also, see if you can get someone to be recommeded to him as a "retro hardware buyer".

Swift, I'll PM you about a 3.9 Disc. Sorry about your loss, wish I was close enough, I would go over to the guys house and beat him up.

You have an E-mail.

In the US our police system is much different. For example, In VA, if you shoot a perp in your home, you generally get no charges, even if the perp dies, because of castle law which dictates anyone uninvited to your home and endangering life/property can be shot.

Broken legs can be arranged.

Good thing you live in VA. The last time I tried to complain about someone threatening me, the local police threatened me with a disorderly conduct charge.
Maybe I should have just invited him in, shot him, and put a knife in his cold, dead hand (Castle Law).

Mag, think about what you just suggested. Do you really think an insurance company is going to pay for a 20 year old computer?
