NO BACKUPS (i am retarded)
it happened in my cookie cutter suburban neighborhood in bright daylight (i was at the dentist)
used the credit card trick on the back door, looked thru the whole house (rummaged everywhere) and the only thing missing was my fucking laptop.
you can keep it, just give me back C:/audio and M:/ drives please.
all my serials were on it too, no hard copies of anything =(

just get insurance, fuck being pissed off about shit like that, (well, admittedly them being in your house sucks) but my mrs. just got a brand new macbook on insurance because her crappy old Pismo PB got a power surge from the last stormb0unce wrote:kool, tell us how you set something like that up ...blank wrote: I did a phone home on mine.

I kinda wish someone would nick mine
but you just have to backup - that is the Law - especially on portables
K, there is many way to achieve this but firstly I have to tell that my case is good for that cause I work for places with some big computer related security concern and I also have internet via a cell phone connection all the time so I takes big benefits of the gps locations possibilities. Cost related to all this are not assumed by myself, and it's pretty ok that wayb0unce wrote:kool, tell us how you set something like that up ...blank wrote: I did a phone home on mine.

But, you can achieve this in a pretty simple way, with just a bit of reading about how mapping a drive over a simple vpn connection.
Just be sure that windows ( or even your mac) connect to this on launch.
Once its done, everytime your machine will connect the internet, the drive will be mapped, the ip will be logged.
Most of vpn devices ( also the home consumers one) allow events sending via email, so you no need to break your ass getting the log, you will have the ip in your mailboxes or even in your cellphone once your laptop is opened.
Assuming the netuse command in windows is able to map an internet drive( not sure here, dos is far a bit), you can simply do a batch file that do this at startup silently.
This method is not failsafe and needs your stolen laptop to be being plugged over the web before its being format but it's better than have nothing. Also, once you have the ip, trace it fast, find the isp and contact the police asap, if the ip is not located in a public place, you'll have good chances to get your laptop back.
you can change the boot sequence and put the cd as the 4th boot devices, Set the beos to have a modification password but not a login one and keep the f12 function to boot from another devices disabled. That way i'm pretty sure the guy will reach the windows boot sequence.
As you can see i'm a bit paranoiac
I tried to popularize a bit, if anyone needs help achieving a thing like this, just pm me, I assume there is other peeps on the forum that can suggest some other method.
I know you can also add a gps chip inside your laptop, I have a friend with this, powered by the laptop battery, even if its off you can locate it. pretty efficient. Cost a bit more but your stuff is protected.
Anyway I shut up
best

sounds to me like it was someone that knew you, go in the back door while you're away and take only the laptop. they probably watched you make beats last weak and thought "oh damn, I wanna do that. luckily I have no scrooples"
watch... in 2 weeks your friend is gonna say "dude, I got into making beats. check this out (boom chick boom boom boom chick da da da boom chick)" and you're gonna think "what the hell... that looks alot like my computer."

It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.
Damn sorry for your lost of equipment I would be pissed off too. I keep most of my important stuff backed up on an external usb drive. Another good tip is to encrypt your hard drive so the cocksuckas can't get any of your data (for the next time).
