My loving laptop was stolen on my birthday
TheArmyGuy:
So yeah quick vent
Having dinner for birthday with the girlfriend and parents. Come back to the car, window smashed, bag stolen. Bag had my laptop with lots all of my wip addons on it but not much else since that's all in dropbox. 250 dollar watch my gf bought me for my birthday was in the bag (literally only that day and never again since I had just gotten it for my birthday and still had to be made to fit at the goldsmith). Car insurance doesn't cover because apparantly you need a household effects insurance for that which I don't have because I don't own a loving house. Was literally in the middle of the city at 7pm right next to a main road. Also lost my gaming mouse and another 60 dollar shaving set I got as a gift. I hope the guy who stole it loving dies the most horrible death imaginable because this pretty much ruined my 21st birthday. Gf is incredibly upset as she worked a forgetton for that watch. Bag wasn't even in sight they just smahsed the window, opened the door and searched the entire car. I also have a test tomorrow for which I need the laptop so I'm gonna fail that (profs don't give a stuff, already emailed).
So yeah forget this birthday forget me forget forget forget

I'm hitting myself over the head so loving hard because I was REALLY doubting if I should take the bag with me even though it was pouring (it was not a waterproof bag so I'd risk damanging my laptop; my previous laptop died from water damage while in another bag) (well it didn't really die it just forgeted the screen forever).
They smashed that tiny little window and reached in to open the door, luckily the car is my mom's lease car so we don't have to pay for the window replacement. I really have no clue what to do as I can't afford a new laptop and really need one for college (like I said yay test I'm gonna fail). Filed police report but I really doubt anything will come out of that.
Mr Queeba:
do you have windows 10? if you have "find my device" enabled you may be able to find it. if you have the model and (better) serial number of the laptop that can really help as well.
but yea, that really sucks. if someone stole my really expensive devices with all my stuff on them i'd be feeling like you are right now and i'd go through the 5 stages of grief.

Look on the bright side- that $1500 of assets is probably gunna feed someone's family of six for the next few months
