1. change passwords of all email accounts (They might be stored as cookies in your laptop so......)

2. change passwords of all online accounts ASAP (bank, paypal, amazon etc etc)

3. As said by other members inform Social Sec Dept ASAP. That mfucker could get your Social Sec and DOB information from your memory card.

4. Follow up cops and tell them, this is not just laptop theft, this is information theft as you had some important documents in there. Might help.


Good luck, I think you'll get it back soon.

thx 4 advice... i'll do this immediately...

omg i'm so sorry to hear that!!! what a pain really, the aftermath of such a theft. lets hope the thief doesnt misuse the info and u have a screensaver on ur laptop which has a password to it... bah. actually if u had a credit card in there, it could help track the thief down when he uses it. hopefully u've reported it right away. this is a terrible thing to happen. good luck with the whole process of getting everything sorted out!!!!!!

Good advice....I would have done the same thing...going thru corp channel might be better.

So sad... Hope you are using folder lock kind of software to lock important data on you laptop....

Shakti....so sad to hear this. But how can somebody come in the office and stole your laptop? and that friend should have been little more alert and done something to stop him. Since you have some clues in hand I hope and pray that all settles down without much stress.

or the porn

[krantikari]

I usually have the backup copies of all my family photographs in different hard disks. I can't think of losing those memories. Yaar... life me those happy moments ka saath bahut jaroori hai. I hope the cops are able to catch hold of this guy based on the licsence plate number and you get your stuff back soon. Ask for devine help.

Tell me if there have been more losses lately? Or this is your first loss? Let me know if you belong to moon sign Virgo ?

I feel sorry for you Shakti pai...

This is a lesson for folks like us... Kal hi family pics or important files ki backup banata hoon..and yes will download some folder lock software too.
hope you will get it back very soon... nahin to bank a/cs SSN to secure kar loge but songs collect karne mein maheenon lag jayenge.. and pictures to bye bye for hamesha...

some weeks ago I had started uploading my picture collection on a website which was giving 25 GB of free space...ab lagta hai saare pictures aur gaane upload kar hi dene chahiye..

yeah...going to do that too...i dont have dvd burner...so will use friend's comp... but online storage sounds cool too... mediamax gives you 25 gb of free storage space... so it is double safety...

I do not trust online storage so much for the photographs. Webshots removed all my photographs without informing me.
