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!

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
