I usually log in to this site at least once everyday. Sometimes more than that. Recently my laptop got stolen and it was brand new. It is the only computer I have. I haven't been here for a couple weeks because I had no way of connecting(my cell phone got stolen too). I got a loner PC from my brother, but it is weak, but at least I can come see my friends here. I wish I could start a donation fund so I could get a new lappy. If everyone here at this site donated a dollar if they could, I could probably get a sweet new laptop. Every time I start to accumulate nice stuff, something happens to where it gets taken from me. This is not the first time some took everything I own out of my apartment, but this time it was the girlfriends fault. Anyway, just wanted to stop in and let everyone know where I have been(not that anyone even noticed that I was gone).

Welcome back!

Sorry to hear about the laptop. :(

It's maddening that some people steal stuff like that. Makes you wonder how they can sleep at night.

No I didn't have renters insurance. I had Lojack for laptops on it and it is supposed to embed into the BIOS, but it is not sending a signal and it hasn't since April 30. It didn't get stolen until July 4 and I used it everyday, so somehow lojack got disabled or something. I didn't make any changes to the BIOS either.

There's a little catch to way Lojack for Laptops works: the person who stole the laptop has to go online.

I assume you have already contacted Lojack and also followed their procedures for contacting your local law enforcement officials.

I have Lojack on my laptop and fortunately have never had to notify Lojack of a missing unit.

A little late now but be sure to check your Lojack profile and options settings.

Yes, I believe you probably could buy a very nice laptop with $90,000 ;)

Seriously, s*** happens. I'm sorry it happened this time to you.
