Surface Stolen but still on my account


Recommended Posts

I had two tablets stolen from my classroom. Never found them. Today, at home, i log in and go to my settings. I notice the names of the two tablets that were stolen have changed. I have this info, but I can't find where they are? Fail crossout, but who cares.... post-287206-0-01379400-1399857732.jpg

Since there is no GPS, you probably wouldn't be able to locate it :( also no drive wipe either.

Really? There's no 'where's my' tracking on surface devices? no remote wipe?

I didn't know that, can ms do anything to help (or at the very least wipe them from some sort of override they have?)

You mean MS didn't put two of the most basic and important security features into these?

Yes.

Yes. You are correct, none. Same answer as before. I don't know OP should call them.

 

If you have the device you can wipe using RESET my PC. Or you could have installed an app that would remote wipe.

I also bet because it's a tablet, for future reference someone couldn't install truecrypt, because I doubt you would get an onscreen keyboard on post.

I used to use Live Mesh to keep tabs on my devices... All went well until the "geniuses" at Microsoft decided to kill that off for some craptacular file picker on OneDrive.

also can't install truecrypt on a UEFI system, which the surface is... no support for it yet

If you log into those accounts it should have a graphical representation of where it is being logged into from.

 

It does that for my emails hotmail.co.uk and hotmail.com

 

Has a nice map and an i.s.p. listed.

 

It should be in recent activity.

 

Then take these details pass them onto the police and let them deal with it.

 

Take a screenshot.

 

My example.
