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!

:(

Wow that really sucks! :( Sorry to hear it and hope you do manage to get some leads on where the items may be, out of interest, where in the UK are you?

what breed is the snake? and how old is he or she?

Its a Cornsnake and probably just over 2 years old now.

Maybe just go door to door to the areas you think could have been invovled. You might just get something in sight when they open their door. Tell them you are just asking for some sugar, or you need to make a phone call... try to think of something that many wouldn't mind letting you inside for just a second.

If they seem really nervious or shaky, you can add them to a list of maybes....

Don't know what else you can do really besides that.

It was most likley someone near you though.

Do people actaully go to their neighbours to borrow sugar? You would get stabbed or shot where im from if you asked for the time let alone sugar :)

Im not pursuing it thats what i pay taxes for, let the police do their job (lilke they ever will!) just gonna learn from my mistake and get back on my feet and come back stronger and more paranoid of the world and people around me :)

Not really :p But it is a way to maybe get into their living room for a short time. Just be like, " I was in the middle of cooking "whatever" and noticed I was out of sugar. Could I please get a cup from you if possible?" Or ask if you can use their line to call something for something urgent, because for some reason, your line is down.

All you need to do is get a glimpse inside of their place to see if you notice anything familiar. Hopefully they haven't already pawned or stashed it somewhere else.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
