Well... This thing turned out weirdly... But since ariete mentioned it and MP went after... In the night of the 8 May 1997 a group of guys took the ferryboat from the mainland of Venice directed to the Lido of Venice. They came onboard with a minivan and a sort of armoured car disguised as a transport vehicle (see image below). After a while the ferryboat leaved, they hijacked it toward San Marco square. The captain was able to make a miracle closing the ferryboat to the San Marco shore without damaging it. After that the closing was complete, the guys came out from the ferryboat rolling on the square. Then they divided themselves in three squads: one into the minivan, the second into the armoured car and the third got up to the bell tower occupying it. Then they say they are part of the "Veneta Serenissima Armata" (roughly translated "Venetian Serenissima Army". Serenissima is impossible to translate, let's say is another way to say Venice). There were talks with the mayor of Venice and with the commissioner of state police in Venice just to understand what the hell they wanted. Some time after Carabinieri put an end to the whole thing seizing both veichles and taking over the bell tower. Nobody was harmed, even during the hijacking. The "Tanko" (unofficial translation into venetian of the word "tank" made by the guys) The "Tanko" 2 The "Tanko" 3 Here below is the link to the original 1997 footage made by the regional branch of the state television. It is into Italian but at minute 1:50 you can see the vehicles. Sorry for off topic

NOTICE: Some of you may be wondering why images of my work cannot be displayed... In the last week, my ImageShack Account was hacked and hijacked, with around 40-50% of my Image Files either Deleted or Destroyed. Some could have been stolen but that would not serve a real purpose for anyone's advantage. I believe this to be an act of a person that had no real plan except to trash my files. It took me about 4 hours to get control of my account again and clean up the mess left behind. We must always remember there is a certain segment of people out there that just want to cause problems for the rest of us. I have turned the matter over to Law Enforcement since the person that gained access does reside in the United States. We were able to secure the IP and have the Computer's Serial Number. That was an unbelievable stroke of luck... so we think this might be a kid that did not cover his tracks. You would expect someone that has this ability to at least understand how to hide his Information and IP. It is clear they made no attempt to mask their identity.But the question must be asked, outside of this Forum, who knew my about my site? If this was one of the members within this Community, I feel sorry for them, and hope they learn from the harsh reality that is about to become unleashed on them. I truly hope that none of our members would be capable of this kind of act, let alone think about it. It is senseless and stupid, especially since we know this person is likely to be identified within the next few days. All of us here work hard to share our work and talents with each other. It is very frustrating when one of us is attacked like this, or just lose our work because of a virus or trojan, or even a hard drive crash. I have some of the most expensive and best protection software around... since I get bombarded each day with spam, malware and virus attempts... some because of the work I do, and some because of my hobby. This attack was not through my personal Server or any of my Systems, but rather directly into ImageShack. This person went directly to my files and was able to gain entry within five minutes. This means they either had the password, which is unlikely, or they had a pass-code, or were able to jump from a Secured Album to the Main Files. We also know the date and time they were in the files; it was late last week, but I did not discover this until Thursday. They had changed my settings and password. They were in the files 2 hours and 45 minutes and have not logged back in since. I urge all users of ImageShack or any other Hosted File Sharing Service to make sure they secure their files and change their passwords frequently. In reality, I did not lose anything... it is just frustrating because many of these images will not display in the Forum now. I did try to reload the last few pages, and will load more as time is available. I have most on one of my Backup Drives. ImageShack only contains Image Files, and in no way have my Source Files been compromised. My work continues although I am behind the schedule posted two weeks ago. This was not because of this issue... but just real life events that took a lot of my time. If you wish to see an image of a model, just let me know... and I'll repost it. Sorry for this inconvenience... Major Pain

The world is crowded with idiots; boredom, frustration and jealousy leads to this kind of senseless acts.

Well MP, you have been a target for an idiot. The fact is that the better you are, the bigger you become as a target. Don't get me wrong, I know perfectly that we have here very good talents but, as you stated above, you are exposed a bit more than the good talents here. Anyway, I don't think that the idiot is from this community.

I honestly do not think it's someone from the community.
I also have "ImageShack" and when I go first, before ingrasar my password and to working with my image files, this server is offering me the chance to visalizar the work of others outside the community, in fact I also showing their work.
I remember that always tells me his last placed images, I sometimes have visualized and has given me the opportunity to assess, yourself will have noticed on more than one occasion, I've reviewed with, "if I like" their images displayed there.
On the other hand, my job is intact and have not received any attack by anyone.
Greetings friend.
