And a Starbucks at Sunset and Vine today. I have a friend who is a really good PI on the case now. We will nail the bastard.

How were you able to find out where they were using it?

Edit until I seen the question above me

Hope you get it back..

Since it is a MacBook Air it has "Back to my Mac" on it. If the laptop is used to go online you can login into your mac and turn the cam on and see who is using your Mac. Their was a thief caught not to long ago using this.

That’s why I never throw parties at my house any more unless its my kids b-day party. Lat time I had my hockey team over there was a cigarette burn on my leather couch, someone pissed all over the bathroom mats and my 300 dollar sunglasses that my wife gave me disappeared… No fucking way… Chucky-e-Cheese is where my next party is going to be at.
Sorry Jay.. must have been hell of a party

Thievery is not something that should be tolerated but by other thieves.

Wolfy · 06-08-2008, 07:03 AM

did you get your baby back?

Pete-KT · 06-08-2008, 07:26 AM

whats the update on tghis Jay?

Electric Lights · 06-08-2008, 07:29 AM

I doubt they'll be able to track it down.

raven1083 · 06-08-2008, 07:30 AM

now, that really sucks!

www.x10.com, cover the house in 'em. Not only will it solve these kinds of issues quickly, considering the kinds of parties you have, it could have fringe benefits too. ;-)

Anyone know how to narrow it down to a specific unit?

I had someone take my wife's cellphone, do a couple of text messages, and then dump it in the trash.

That was the last party I gave at my house.

if you are really torn up about this, hire a detective.. have him stake the apt out..

i bet he find the person easily if they left the apt with it...

How do you know it's in that apartment complex? As others have said, if you get some simple wireless network sniffing software, such as Wildpackets OmniPeek Personal (there's an older fully-featured freeware version knocking about on the web somewhere, I think I've got a copy if you need it) and you somehow know the MAC address of your MacBook's wireless adapter, you could just walk around the complex and see if you can sniff the presence of the Mac, and then do some door-to-door enquiries.

To be honest though, for those of you who said you've registered your MAC address with Toshiba and so on, I really can't see how Toshiba would be able to track it down, as MAC addresses are all local to specific network segments - whenever a router routes traffic to the WAN, it does so using your IP address as the source but it's MAC address as the source, so I'm at a loss to explain how somebody could track a MAC address down. That said, I'm usually 110% wrong about most things I "know", so here's waiting for the correction...
