Was out last night, at a party and stayed over..

Got home tonight about 9 to find I'd left my door unlocked.

My macbook isn't on my coffee table like it normally is, and I've hunted high and low for it,l nor can I remember moving it.

NOTHING else is moved nor missing tho, which is most bizarre.

I can only assume someone's tried the door or something, and thought I was either around nearby, or was disturbed so just grabbed what was most obvious and legged it.

tw@!

I've changed the locks JUST in case, but my god I'm pissed off now!

If you left any money out and it is still there or any other obvious valuables. I doubt that you have been robbed most likely just misplaced you macbook.

OK, I don't know what A MacBook is, and can't be fussed checking Laughing

but is it behind the sofa, on the mantel piece or in the kitchen/bedroom?

Check the fridge - I've found some unusual things in mine remote control, fags, scissors, food...

On a serious note, I'm gutted for you mate. Your best bet is to report it to the police just in case they recover it from a hoard of stolen equipement at the thievin bastards house

You live in an OK area and left your door open for a limited period of time. What are the chances that a opportunistic thief even approached your door let alone tried it.

Check with you friends, might be a practical joke or a somewhat misguided attempted lesson.

If it isn't, definitely report it to the police. Not sure if Mac's have computer names like PC's do. If it does, when anyone tries to connect to the internet with it, there must be a way to trace it.

You can't exactly misplace a laptop unless your house is a rubbish tip inside, not like it's gonna be hiding in some obscure draw somewhere if you never moved it, so if it's not there then it's gone walkies,

Reported it to the police at 9:30 last night, and they were round by 11, after the local nick phoned to make sure I was still okay for a visit at that time of night.

Realised just after they'd left that a case of wine was missing too. (6 bottle cardboard box)

JUst the sort of 'haul' that a single person could carry I'd expect.

ah well.. chalk this one up to experience, and be more careful next time.

You're not the only person to do stupid things like that - you were just remarkably unlucky. Hopefully your insurance will cover the MacBook, fingers crossed you haven't lost too much personal information (and there are no bank account details etc saved on there...)

I was late for work on Friday morning because I couldn't find my house keys anywhere. I hunted high and low for the things. Twenty to thirty minutes were spent checking every pocket, bag and work-surface area, even down the back of the sofa.
Thought "stuff it, I'll get my spare set off my parents at some point today" and left for work. It was only when I closed the door I realised I had left the bloody things in the lock outside ALL night! I was very lucky!

Excellent news. Thumbs Up

Request I should probably stick in the geek zone but - could you forward me instructions for setting up a similar arrangement on my MacBook please? At the moment it's a free for all and if I continue to do clever things like leave my keys in the door outside all night I'm asking for trouble Smile

feef sorry to hear about the break in, same thing happened to me in 2005. They broke in and only took my laptop and a few DVDs and that was it. They left my pc, several TFT screens, ps2, and other valuable items in the house.

I would agree to it being one person and if there is no sign up break in, it could be due to them having your keys, perhaps someone who knows how to pick a lock.

I would recommend you double check all the point of entries in your house for any clues, i.e. windows for any signs of 'Force'. Very good move about having the locks changed, but for prevention purposes maybe look into purchasing an alarm, motion sensor lights for the outside, better locks.

Hope you had house and contents insurance,
