Four thoughts.... go with whichever best fits:

1) The machines are taking over. There's a world wide uprising, beginning with Sharni's puter, on to my washer that just up & quit today while filled with dirty clothes, on to.... who knows whats next. People of Pixies, beware of the machines in your home.

2) You can't live with them, you can't live without them!! Stinking pieces of metal. When did we become so dependent on them.

3) Someone has access to your computer from another location. My hubby can access his computer at work and all its files (which are all under passwords - works for the US Navy - high security) from our home computer. He is even able to access their web site from home & make changes to it. (he is authorized to do this but supposedly only from his work station)

4) Orli your elf stud did it. He wants you all to himself. Go check his little elf comp. I bet all your things are stashed away in there, under the heading: "My most devoted fan".

Good Luck Sharni!! Hope you can figure it out & retrive everything. Keep us posted so hopefully we can avoid the same thing happening to us.
