Only one copy of a finished thesis? No backups? They should arrest her for criminal negligence.
 
Sweet jesus, I always make sure I have a backup even of a 500 word document...
 
My flash drive is full of mathematica notebooks which i probably could find 4 other copies of in my house or at my university.
 
Grad school never came easily to Cerniglia, who majored in dance as part of the University of Maryland's Class of 1986, became a personal trainer and returned to the school in her forties for a master's degree in exercise physiology.

Well she obviously wasn't too bright in the first place...
 
For critical documents, I have a copy on a hard drive, a flash drive, a file server, and two separate email servers (one of them is gmail). It takes no effort to do this.

Seems a good assessment. :-p

Seriously - have nothing anywhere near that important, and I keep backups!
 
Ahem.. *cough*

if she only had one copy, then she is not intelligent enough to achieve a Masters. Yeap, those are my 2 cents and don't you dare stealing them

I'd have to agree. Geez, your thesis is the sort of thing where you keep copies of every draft, hard copies, electronic copies, copies on three different forms of media, a copy at home, a copy at the lab, a copy in the car, and you'd risk your life running into a burning building to save it. You'd never leave your only copy on something like a jump drive that could be damaged, and then leave it out of your sight for even a moment (she should have had it on a chain around her neck!) Though, the determination in finding it in a dumpster at Wendy's does make up for it a bit. :rolleyes:

:cry: No, you can't take my wittle Fwanzbear away! I'd rescue him from a burning building too...even if I was the one to set the fire[/size].
 
Did you read how she got it back? The credit cards? The interstate?? The dumpster?

I want to find this woman and befriend her - and be very near to her at all times - especially on airline flights.

This woman could sit in her bathtub and drop her toaster in the water - there'd be a city-wide power outage two seconds before.

Someone up there seriously, SERIOUSLY likes her.

Or maybe she made up the whole story?

I'm not sure how inclined police are to join in on publicity stunt hoaxes.
