Great story, macinbot, thanks for sharing it 
Perhaps it was Leanna, for fear of her name being bandied about with a stranger? 
Or, mustn't have been the smartest crack/meth user stealing this over everything else in your shed.
I've a similar story with my 9600, which I purchased when it was "still good", and loaned it to a friend as he wanted to record a DJ set he was preparing. It was stuffed to the gills with upgrades. He had just purchased his first home in Preston, Melbourne (for the locals this was in the bad part near Norflands) and didn't even want to store his vinyl collection there for fear of theft/break in. So I was pretty foolish giving him this Mac. As he feared, his place was broken into and they got into everything, including dragging my 9600 to the window ... then gave up as it was so heavy. For anyone who has handled one of these, you are kind of asking for trouble to haul it out of a window without doing yourself a serious injury. It came back with a few boot scuffs, but that adds to the character and history of the computer, much like your Tangerine iMac!
