Met de huidige belachelijk hoge DRAM prijzen lijkt het voor bepaalde duistere personen ook weer interessant te worden om die onschuldige reepjes te ontvreemden. Dane-Elec, een of andere grote distributeur uit de UK, werd gisteren getroffen door een dergelijke 'RAM raid':
Dane-Elec today warned fellow memory distributors to keep DRAM under surveillance following a robbery at their warehouse. The Surrey-based distributor said it was broken into at 2am this morning. But the robbers were disturbed by a security guard and got away with less kit than they intended.Alan Stanley, Dane-Elec general manager, said 128MB and 64MB modules were stolen. He did not disclose the value of memory taken, but said it was small, and less than a tenth of the company’s stock. Word on the street is that this could be anything between £1 million and £3 million.
[...] DRAM robberies -- burglaries, ram raids(where villains rammed vehicles through warehouse doors and hijacks were common in Britain in the heydays of high memory prices (1994-1996. Looks like they're back.
