I would like to suggest though that people do some quick googling of me before they decide I'm scamming people. 1) I'm a known blogger and EV advocate. I'm very public about who I am and where I am (Scamsters don't do that) 2) I host two podcasts every week, and produce an online videocast.

I also was uncomfortable entering credit card information on the fundraiser site. That said, I'm going to trust that Nikki's fundraiser gets the money to Roz to help replace her stuff. Glad to hear that problems are being solved and people are stepping forward to help out. Roz, when my wallet was stolen in Canada, replacing my driver's license just meant going down and getting a new photo and I walked out with it, and credit card companies usually replace cards fast once you call and report the theft so they can cancel the card(s).

What are you doing on Dec 23? Maybe a birthday coffee?! So Nikki – we’re up to $2,500?!! That is incredible!!!! You guys do indeed rock! I feel very lucky. I just wish I was putting that money towards Pacific III instead of just trying to get back to where I was before the thief came along… but that’s life. **it happens!

Funny, for some reason I’d thought you were American. No offence! :-) If I’m picking up Alun’s car from Cheltenham then I won’t be far from Bristol, and it would be lovely to meet! What are you doing on Dec 23? Maybe a birthday coffee?!

Your inspirational story was what helped me ditch my day job and, in your footsteps as it were, follow the thing I really love. Okay, so that's sitting in a studio podcasting, but your story helped me make that decision. When I heard of your bad luck in Copenhagen it made sense to jump online and help collect for you. Folks, we're now at $2,500. You guys rock, You really do. Hopefully Roz will get the stuff sorted ASAP. And Roz, email me if you're in the Bristol area at any point. I'll buy you coffee. Roz,

Spare car in Gloucestershire for (within reason) as long as you need it. I emailed you about a car via your gmail account. Spare car in Gloucestershire for (within reason) as long as you need it.
