This thread has reminded me to install prey on this laptop Thank you
Just go to your local starbucks, I'm sure it's around there.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;33556267']This thread has reminded me to install prey on this laptop Thank you[/QUOTE] Thread had the same affect on me as well. Just installed it and the features are pretty damn cool. It can remotely clear out all your saved passwords and even take pictures with the webcam. Hope you get your macbook back OP

If it does then he might be able to leave and get police protection to recover the stolen laptop.

I hope you get it back! Be more careful next time!
Buy a PC
[QUOTE='[sluggo];33558478']Buy a PC[/QUOTE] And how does this accomplish getting his laptop back?
Sorry to hear about your Macbook. I hope you find it soon.

The first 2 are for regular MacBooks and the 4th link is for a MacBook Air. Also, the OP said an IP search said it was from the Marietta area. Also, the seller for the third link is selling in the Marietta area. Also from the seller: [quote] Serious inquires, CASH AND LOCAL ONLY. NOTE. NO PAYPAL, NO SHIPPING, NO EBAY. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE EMAILING ME. THANKS. [/quote] Only thing is this MacBook has Lion and OP said he didn't upgrade his to Lion. That doesn't mean the crook didn't do it though.

Hard to believe this is the guy :/ Debating if I should ask for more info EDIT: okay fuck it. I'm posting the ip to see if any of you can do anything. I feel stuck where I am right now. and I tried some other iptracings and a couple were giving me lawrenceville. so it's somewhere inbetween Marietta and Lawrenceville 71.22.201.144 Let me know. Thanks.
-snip double post-
it'd be a lot easier if you could find the serial number
Shit man I do hope that you get your Macbook backm and that this fucker gets fucked by the police.
[QUOTE=aznz888;33566597]it'd be a lot easier if you could find the serial number[/QUOTE] I do have the serial number, but I don't think I should put it up on the internet. Edit: Nevermind. I know that's not what you meant now. Haha. Well, if the police do find any suspects, I do have the serial number, so we can compare it.

That's pretty smart, I wish you best of luck in getting your computer back. Update us on the results!
Good luck! It's gonna be tough shit trying to find that laptop, but I'd do the same.
[QUOTE=Mobon1;33568936]Hey uhh [B]Marietta[/B] [url]http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/sys/2727761316.html[/url][/QUOTE] Maybe OP could contact that seller asking to see the item first, when he gets an address he could see if it's anywhere near the lat/lon I posted.
Don't want to be [i]that guy[/i], but does you losing it make it stealing? Hope you find it anyway.

[QUOTE=Mobon1;33568936]Hey uhh [B]Marietta[/B] [url]http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/sys/2727761316.html[/url][/QUOTE] Already contacted the guy. Maybe I should see in person, but he says he has the charger, which I have the charger. He says it's Lion but I never personally upgraded it, and on my macbook, there was a little dent on the side, and I asked him to send me pics of the sides and he did and I didn't see the dent. So I really have high doubts its mine. I still wish there was I way I could check in person without being suspicious or with the cops. [QUOTE=Executive;33571649]Don't want to be [i]that guy[/i], but does you losing it make it stealing? Hope you find it anyway.[/QUOTE] Yeah. The cops said if the person didn't turn it into the police, it's technically stolen. [editline]4th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=xxncxx;33571783]ask for the serial number[/QUOTE] am I allowed to? I will do that now anyway [editline]4th December 2011[/editline] Fuck, the guy I was trying to contact sold it. Doesn't mean it was him though
Do many people who visit Defcon use Mac computers?
hope you find it bro, I lost my dell inspiron in a cafe, had a finder installed, called the cops, guy who stole it was 15. It was funny seeing him plead to me and then him still being logged onto facebook.
Update, everyone! Damn, it's been a struggle so far, but who would have thought that I have a special homeowners insurance where they cover computers and electronics. With a $100 deductible, the whole thing gets covered. I'm getting a new one, boys, and this time I'm installing every piece of god damn tracking/security software available. But I'm not letting this case end here. The cops have decided to step it up today. They're getting all involved with this shit because they've never had anyone give this kind of info to them before (supposedly). So, who knows where that will go. I'll continue to update you all on finding the guy, because that's all it really comes down to now.
Any response about the SN from that guy?
[QUOTE=Protocol7;33587173]Any response about the SN from that guy?[/QUOTE] he sold it before he could give it to me. he was being moody. so it might have been him, but we won't know for now.
At least you can get another for cheap. :v:
