my 2 cents...

I have a small amount of security knowledge. security requires order, making order from chaos requires energy. Without effort all order will eventually return to chaos. You have to put the time into securing your system on a continuous basis. Even if you were to make it secure today, if you did nothing to update it for a year it would most likely become insecure as new exploits were found and new tools created. Using a complex new OS that you do not fully understand will probably make you less secure. OBSD has advanced firewall features but will you use them? Insecure protocols can be tunneled over SSH and IPSEC can be setup, but will you do that? You should really call the authorities or someone with security knowledge to help you or you'll probably wind up in the same boat. As bad as windows is it is possible to keep attackers out and catch them when they get in. I'm curious, what do you mean you 'lost' computers to him?
