So i've been living with a few friends for the past few years and decided i want my own space. Sold my beloved Roland drums to cover the deposit and rent. Bought a new TV, corner sofa etc.

Moved in on the 1st November......moved out the 5th November..... 4 Days in i was robbed blind while out at football training.

In total they took

Samsung 46" 3D TV

LG 27" 3D Monitor

Dell Vostro Laptop

Apple Macbook

Wallet containing cards and ?110

My work keys

Xbox Slim with all games and kinect.

Luckily they left my main PC and Micro-server with all my movies and tv shows on....oh and my pet snake!

Back bedroom window, its a rented property and it was the only room with wooden window frames. They had obvioulsy watched me move all my gear in and then watched to see when i left. Saw me in my training gear and took the opportunity! sub human scum!

I personally think it was people in my building, as there was no way they could have taken all that without someone seeing it. Next the window where they broke in was a door to a shared hallway and stairs to the flats above. so it was all to easy to pass things out the window and up the stairs without being seen.

This is the only time I condone violence, catch the ****ers and **** them up so badly that their future children would feel it! You kinda get it when people take something because they are hungry or really desperate, but coming into my house and violating my privacy and life like that, beware if I catch you!

No it was a work one, i was studying for my Lion exam so i didnt have any AppleIDs setup on it, first thing i thought of.

I did think of calling Microsoft to get the thing blocked but thought they might not care that it was stolen, and i doubt the police would go to such lengths to retreive it.

Thats terrible so sorry to hear that. Makes me sick to think that people do this on a daily basis without caring what they are doing to peoples lives. Scum of the earth.

I have tracking software on all of my devices, iphone ipad etc. I am looking to get CCTV installed at home, they are relatively cheap these days and they record to Hard-drive.

So no tracking software on Macbook or Dell Laptop?

If I was you if you I would knock on my neighbors doors see if they know anything. If your any good at reading peoples body language you might have a chance of working out if they were involved or know anything.

if they watched you move in ... and broke in when you left ... and knew about the windows ect.... its either your landlord, a friend or someone leaving close by ..... this is why I am getting a dog when i live in a house ... and cameras.... and my gun will close and the ammo in my pocket....

Sorry guys been away for a few days

Still no updates on the case or any contact from the police :(

My uncle is a police officer who is checking into any updates for me but nothing as of yet.

Unfortunatley no tracking software on my devices although im sure i setup iCloud et on my ipod but it isnt showing.

I dont hold any hope of getting anything back as they couldnt find any prints around the window where they got it, they did get some prints of the box for my xbox but they are more than likely going to be mine.

Just logged into iCloud and found i could lock and erase my ipod which is new to me. Put a pin code on it so when it does eventually connect to the internet it should lock and erase and show a message....heres hoping!

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
