MICHIGAN BLOGGER COMMENTS ON COMPUTER THEFT A Word Of Warning... - Sarah Gerstenberger

A Word Of Warning...

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

So I had my computer stolen over the weekend (which is why I haven't been blogging much). My roommates and I had some friends over on Saturday who in turn invited a few of their friends. Well, Sunday morning my laptop (which had been in a drawer in my desk) was gone. All the guests and guests of guests were questioned but no one fessed up. Luckily I had renters insurance which covered the actual laptop (and I had been contemplating getting a new Macbook Pro soon anyways) but not the information on it. I hadn't backed up recently (stupid, I know) so I lost quite a bit of stuff. I'm also a little concerned that someone could hack into it and get some personal information. I'm dealing with the police on making sure my identity hasn't been stolen. Here's a short article about computer theft. Anyways, just wanted to warn you guys to be really careful with your computers and other valuables. I was always really careful when I took my laptop out of the house but I probably wasn't as careful as I could of been with it in the house.
