Author Topic: Laptop stolen. *It has been returned.*  (Read 8385 times)

Yesterday, during 4th period. We had a short schedule so my weight training class was only 30 minutes. Add the buffer at the start and end for changing, and that's 10 minutes of lifting time. My laptop sat in my backpack in the locker room for 10 minutes. In that time, it was gone.

I've so tired today because I spent yesterday and today talking to the security dude at our school, filing a police report, and today I got a tip from this guy who didn't tell me where he got the info, but he says the guy who took it left it in this covered parking area outside an insurance office downtown because it was password protected and the idiot who took it couldn't get through my password (thus he didn't want it, left it behind). So I left school during my off-period to look there, and of course there was nothing.

Yep, Macbook pro 15'', 1600 bucks, gone. There's still a chance we can get it. See, my mom called around some parents in my weight training class (I didn't want her to, but she did) and this one kid who has a history of stealing/pawning stuff: his mom called us back and said she thinks it's him and everything. Now the security guy at my school is convinced it's him too, but see: he wasn't at school until like...4-6th period today. Interesting.

Eh, for an uber challenge, if anyone wants to see if they can track where it is they should give it a shot. I doubt anyone could figure anything out, since I had no tracking software. I just have the serial number and my school has my MAC address logged just in case.

Discuss :( i'm so tired from running around everywhere and explaining everything and blah...I just feel like crap, that laptop was my life. And now it's gone. I'm typing this on my family's imac that I have limited access to.

The network/sharing name for the laptop was Booky McMacMac :(

Did you back up your data? Encrypt the hard drive? Could be more damaging than just losing the hardware.

:c

At our school our stuff was being stolen every day. Two kids in our Gym class learned lockpicking and snuck away while we were in gym to to open our locker rooms door and would steal stuff from everyone's lockers that most people kept unlocked because they were lazy forgets. They stole hundreds worth of money from wallets and a bunch of iPods and phones. I left my phone recording and hid it in a bottom locker that no one ever uses and sure enough, I got proof.

Did you back up your data? Encrypt the hard drive? Could be more damaging than just losing the hardware.

Well, all my important passwords are saved using LastPass (internet plugin) and I changed my master password for that, and deleted my back account login stuff just to be sure. Then again, if the dude was too stupid to get past my password, and he just left it somewhere, my concern is the hardware being in working condition. Being left outside, not sure how well it could be doing.

It snowed today.


Why didn't you go get it? :C Oh, I didn't see that you already looked.
Well, that sucks. :c

Why do people need to be such ass holes?
Man thay sucks.

Someone stole my headphones...
I stole them back c:


He should be happy I did it nicely instead of knocked him out like my dad told me to do.

I know you are depressed because it got stolen but,
WOULD YOU DUMBASSES STOP BRINGING VALUBLE stuff TO SCHOOL?
JESUS CHRIST JUST loving LEAVE IT AT HOME

Sucks man, sorry to hear that. :( I'd give you one of my MBP's if I didn't need 'em. :(

Send me everything and I'm on the case
