Not just in your local town, but your surrounding area.

Also, keep us updated! We want to know if/when this guy gets caught and goes to jail.

oh for sure

I would send photos to the police and all local pawn shops. Also keep an eye out for "custom" PC auctions on Ebay and Craigslist

You know it, i also printed off pictures of the computer along with pictures of the hardware and included serial numbers and stuff.

dropped a few pictures around the local neighborhood pawn shops as well, so they'll keep a look out for it.

Nothing on craigslist so far.


And i'm curious as to how pissed off they were when they got home fired it up and learned all the drives are bit locked and the system is password protected across the board on all accounts.

Let's hope they don't know about cracks, reinstalls, or Linux.....

Still, keep an eye out at local thrift stores.

My paranoia is justified

Ya, i was going to drop off some flyers to the few in the area just in case.

Something tells me this wasn't exactly urkle or bill nye breaking into my house. =p


Wasn't really anything important on it other then my collection of movies and TV shows (was my media host and router)

lol it makes me wonder if it's worth installing some sort of LoJack transponder hardware. Or even LoJack software, although I'm unconvinced that it's very effective.

An excellent excuse for experimenting with all those GPS protocols in MCU projects! Building a short-range FM-band transmitter is trivial, but alas technically illegal since it steps on commercial signals. Hmm, then again the cops can punish me only after finding my computer, which is a good thing if it was stolen.

I seen some software that'll shoot you a email where it is every time it gets a internet connection.

I'll see if i can remember the name of it, works with gmail i think : \

Well, no luck on Craigslist today. But I did find this. http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/sys/2708534906.html
For the right price I really want that case, but I really couldn't spend more than $200 total.
Good luck on your computer. I'll keep checking every now and then.
