How not to rob Richard 'Lord British' Garriott

Richard "Lord British" Garriott could not have designed a more perfect ending to this little chapter in his game called life. Recently Garriott, who is currently working on Tabula Rasa, was the victim of a burglary. Some youths broke into Garriott's vacation complex, drinking over $5000 in alcohol and having their way with the property. The little felons would have gotten away with it too -- if they hadn't left the digital camera used to document the night's events behind!

"We were joking to ourselves about tomorrow morning, when they wake up with a hangover, they're going to wonder where that camera is ... This is one of those Darwin-style kind of awards, where people leave the self-incriminating evidence behind at the scene," Garriott said to Austin's KVUE. This is the second break-in on Garriott's property in two years. We're expecting him to either build a moat around the property with a dragon or have it patrolled by some giant mechanized death machine.
