Please let us not forget that there is a big difference between being paranoid and being aware. Except for a friend I sometimes have lunch with I’ve kept this story a secret from most of my friends up until now. Back around October 2003 while I was installing a new graphics card into my computer (that I built) I was shocked to find a strange card that wasn’t mine somehow installed on the motherboard (earlier minor details left out - I’m keeping this short). “How the *@# did that get in there?!”, I asked myself. You see these are the facts, I live by myself and there’s no possible way that it came into my home and became installed unless someone else took the time and effort to put it there while I wasn’t home!! I wasn’t cheating on anyone, my criminal record consists of a very old D.U.I., a few parking tickets, I like grown women, I have no foreign ties and I don’t go about promoting political causes or causing unwanted commotion. Anyway, I pulled the card out and threw it in the trash while saying to myself, “who would be foolish enough to plant a bug in my boring home?” Also when I first discovered the card it had occurred to me that I would need a plan of action, because whom ever placed it there would probably try again and I wanted to know who was behind this invasion of my privacy. Sure enough sometime later I was going through my bookcase and “WOW!”, sitting out of sight on the bottom shelf I found a brand new portable compact disk player with all the frills! It didn’t belong to me or any of my friends or neighbors! So, I decided not to throw it out and see what would happen if I kept it over a long peroid of time (the rest of which you’ll have to imagine yourself). I pose this question for all you great thinkers and brainers out there – WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IN THIS SITUATION?
