Stolen Log Book
I too had my log book stolen in a robbery, it's a real bummer. I lost a whole pile of hours I just couldn't proove and the records of many wonderful types I had flown. Having compiled a new record of as much as I could remember and of flights that could be properly verified, I had to go to a solicitor and swear an affidavit to say that as far as I was concered the hours claimed were correct. The CAA accepted that.
Tips for all. Don't use a big commercial logbook. Use the small ones. Complete every other line only. Finish the logbook quickly and put it in your safe, then start a new one and do the same.
If you can, back-up your log book on your computer and save it to one of those little thingys that plug in to your what's it socket. Then put that in the safe or give it to your mum for safe keeping.
Your log book becomes your life in this game, don't let someone take it away. My sincere condolences my friend!!
