    You're on the wrong board to ask about your rights but as from a tecchie point of view ...


    I find it balmy how much emphasis you put on the importance of this data, yet you dont have it backed up !!
    If it doesnt exist in 3 places then it doesnt exist.


    And as for this ...

    You did take it out of the house though didnt you ?
    And what if you got burgled etc ?? Any data that is as important as you say it is should be password protected.


    You have done what you can to mitigate any misuse as you say you have changed your passwords but that is all you can do really..


    If you are lucky then the thief will not be interested in your data and will simply wipe it and sell it.
    If you are not then you could be in for a whole world of hurt :(


    Sorry it isnt better news, but at least this thread might help in changing some one elses mind about backing up and having passwords etc ...

    Perhaps you could still look in either of the other 2 places it existed? :D
