Hey Ted,

No idea where he's based. He originally contacted the Inkscape user list
in 2005 and then 2 years later he sent the following message to the list:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=BAY124-W464856CE958A0EFF06980BF4BC0%40phx.gbl

And the current location for the file he mentioned is:

http://investigativeelectronics.com/Documents/CRIME%20SCENE%20SYMBOLS.svg

It has some basic stuff for a house or office in that file too (however
things would need to be manually resized, but that's easy enough.

Cheers,
Josh
