I got robbed, and I need help!

[Fugiman]

Well, I did a quick search of Craigslist again. Found 2 suspicious ones, not sure if they quite match though.

Hopefully you find it Kathleen!

[Elomin Sha]

Nah, these were posted on the 8th.

[Vanguard]

Geez, it's too bad that Brad is in Britain right now. This would be the perfect situation for a private investigator...

[gcninja]

when was it stolen?

[Rikadyn]

My guess would be, the day this thread went up...it's not really the type of thing people drag their feet about posting for a few days...

[Fugiman]

Well, I saw this: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/s ... 59444.html and assumed it was Kathleen/her roommate. My bad.

[Katie]

That is so awful, Kathleen, I hope you're doing okay.

When our house got broken into they only took some mugs, the kettle and the miniature fire extinguisher. Burglars seem much more efficient in Vancouver, sadly

Must of been really craving a cup of tea...

That's awful, Kathleen! I don't have money to donate, but here's a few more craigslist links:

Probably legit, but the specs look right. Might be worth checking out the serial number in the ad.
This one has a 15.4" monitor, but only a 2.2GHz processor. They could have got it wrong, I suppose.
This is for a 250 gb hard drive.

Well, to a 'Brit' there isn' much that's more important. So yeah. The fire extinguisher is a bit confusing though. Maybe they wanted to empty it and use it to make frothed milk or something...

[Evil Jim]

For broader searches of Craigslist you can use Crazedlist.org. It consolidates searches of multiple Craigslist sites, entire continents even. It may help speed things along.

Good luck.

[Dubious_wolf]

Im so sorry this happened to you Kathleen. Well at least you weren't hurt, if you had walked in while this thief was stealing stuff you might not be here asking for our help! I scroll through Craiglist and see if I turn up anything. Good luck.

[epocalypse]

...yeah, i think we'll be okay.

/woulda been entertaining though. (still want to help!)

[gcninja]

See and this is why I install Orb into every new computer, it allows me to remotely see my files AND webcam, its really great if its jacked

[Machalllewis]

Yeah I remember when my laptop got nicked. That sucked big time! Damn thieves targeting students!

Umm, I dont have a ton of money at the mo but I could probs donate something sometime soon maybe?

Tons of forum love is coming to you from us already so yeah. Not much else to add. Hope you find your old one!

[gcninja]

stop saying your poor or she wont take the donations!

[Emperor Gum]

I have a gold plated rocket car fuelled by burning money. [/monocle]

[Smidge]

You should sprinkle the money with shredded money for optimum results.

[Vanguard]

Yes, my mansion smells of rich mahogany and my many concubines bathe in bathes of crude oil and fist-sized diamonds.

/sarcasm

On semi-related news do check out this awesome sketch Kathleen did for me as a request:



Remember, folks, donating a few bucks is for a good cause and you get some nice original art out of it. Do we need to have the "original art" discussion again, or were you paying attention during Desert Bus? Yes? Sweet.

Remember, kids, do your part for Operation: "Economic Stimulus" while there's still time!

[Elomin Sha]

Broken link is broken.

[Vanguard]

Overused meme is very, very, overused.

Because the direct link decided that it didn't wnt to work (piece of crap), I'll just link to Twitpic itself:

[Brad]

I'm on the case!

What's the case?

[Vanguard]

... and he shows up right on cue. I love it.

Here's the skinny: some jackass broke into Kathleen's house and stole both her Macbook, her DS and her roommate's iPod. The case involves the tracking down and recovery of said items and, if you feel like it, hitting the perp over the head with something heavy, preferably a shovel.

[Shinoki]

Being a broke student I unfortunately do not have any cash to spare, but what I do have is some skills and time that can generate cash. I've been trying to start a small chainmaille jewelery biz on the side. If you end up doing a AskLRRcast for Kathleen I will be more than happy enough to put up for auction one custom made piece of chainmaille jewelery. I can make many different types (Necklaces, bracelets, earrings), the winner will have their choice of metal, type, and style.

[Yaxley]

After spending some cash on the new LRR store, it occurs to me that I could afford to send some dollars Kathleen's way for this cause. Have there been any updates regarding finding the laptop? Is Kathleen still taking commissions? Because if no and yes, I would be willing to chip in on those terms.
