Someone stole my Macbook Pro

[Annie Anachr 10]

On Monday October 11th my MacBook Pro was stolen from my room.

I am a student and had hundreds of hours of classwork, and all the research for my masters thesis on my computer.

It was all backed on a Lacie external hard drive, which was also stolen.

I am offering £400 to get them back with all the information intact.

If you see someone selling these please call the police, and return the laptop and drive for the reward.

BIG thanks!

First rule of data security, don't keep your backup in the same place as the original data.

No help but what room? Halls or a house?

Have you tried all the usual places? Cash exchange in town and hillsborough, gumtree, ebay, pawn shop at heely bottom.

 

Good luck.

Hope you get it back, what a nightmare.

 

On the bright side you could now use your insurance money to buy a proper PC.

Lesson learned re data backup. I thought the external drive was well buried.

 

It was a house, they kicked in the outside door, then kicked in doors to rooms.

 

Big thanks for advice re where to look. I appreciate it muchly!

The sad thing here is, you offer £400 reward and most likely it's been sold for a 25 quid fix. My heart goes out to you. All that work means nothing to vermin who think a days work is kicking a door in. Hope it somehow finds its way back to you.

I'm sure it will be returned to you and whoever will say forget the reward, I know I would

Hope you activate 'File Vault' when your away from it?

When it returns or you get another check this out http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/mac/

You poor thing!! I do hope it is returned safely with your work intact. Go through yellow ages and try every single shop that might buy something like that. If itis returned I would hope that the person would feel happy that he has made someone else happy, which is worth more than taking £400 reward from you. Good luck!
