Help! My laptop has been stolen – No they didn’t catch the bad guys

Before I get a bunch of comments about the news story on the bad guys who were caught, it doesn’t appear to be the same bad guys at the moment. My stuff was not in the initial find and the dates don’t match up.

Maybe the bad guys know each other, but until the police contact me with a find, I am assuming that my laptops are still out there.

Yes, both my laptops were stolen out of my car last night. One was an Averatec with tons of stickers plastered on the top cover, the other was my Asus Eee PC. There was a lot of other stuff in the bag, but nothing that I can’t replace.

I just thought I would put out an APB just in case someone in the Grand Junction area has a relative that might be rummaging through cars in North Grand Junction looking for cash to pay for their healthcare needs.

P.S. If you are the bad guy and you are reading this, post a comment and let us know how you like Ubuntu and the Eee PC.

UPDATE: No, my car was not locked last night. Typically I lock it, but for some reason (probably that I got home late last night after the show) I didn’t lock it last night. I also usually bring my laptop in and charge my Eee PC at night. But, again, not last night.

As it turns out, my business insurance that I have to cover any electronics excludes laptops. Now I know.

It looks like I will be doing my digital photo classes on a 4-year-old laptop with 512MB of RAM for another few months until I pay off the one that got stolen.

I wish thank everyone who has sent flowers and sympathy cards. Your thoughts are much appreciated.
