Internext - lost iPad (Long shot, I know)
 

I know this is a long shot but if you don't try, etc

About 20 minutes ago, I left my iPad (like an idiot) in the bathroom across from Pink Taco. I went back but, of course, it was gone.

It is is a thin black case and has 'Sarah's iPad' engraved on the back.

The security guy wanted to review camera footage because the time span was so short but his higher ups refused because the camera was facing a bathroom door.

No, I didn't have the find thing activated. Yes, I feel like an idiot.

So, long shot but if anybody found one that fits that description, I'd love it if it was returned to me.

here we go again..... was it lost or stolen.

I left it ...likely on the sink when washing hands. It was, of course, gone when I went back barely 5 minutes later

What do you mean you didn't have it activated? Was it brand new and never turned on?

You should still be able to setup FindMyiPhone on it as long as it's connected to a signal either Wifi or network

I can check from my phone for you, ping me on IM. Worst case you can freeze the iPad so no one can use it

Welcome to the lost your iGadget in Las Vegas club. Lost my iPhone a couple years ago there. Then instead of sleeping I got to play the drunkenly retrace my steps game

I'm on my phone at the moment (wow would that have been a bigger deal) but the email I can access is sanderson at LFP.com

It is the wifi variety but I would be shocked if it was connected. It has a screen pasword but I know that really matters very little.

Sounds like the kind of club that needs an open bar.

You're fucked, sorry.

Do you have an iphone?

If so, download the "find my iphone" app and put in your user/pass that you use for your iPad. if its the same as your iphone, its fine.

Then click on the iPad and have it send you a warning when its connected. You can also have it display a message too for the person.

I would use something like "This iPad is being tracked and property of the United States Marshall Service. Please call xxx-xxx-xxxx to return this device or we will pursue legal action."

People will get scared :2 cents:

if you still have the box at home with the serial number let apple know. if any one takes it in to the apple store for any reason they will take it from them and call the police.

They can't "take" it from them, but they will hold it in the back (if the person hands it to them) and call apple.
:upsidedow

I'm saying if the person who stole it takes it into apple say to get it repaired or what not. and its listed as a stolen item in their system they call the police.

I had no idea I could do that ..thank you

I do, actually

How do you forget an ipad ? Its pretty big.

THAT is the problem!

1st it was lost. Then it was stolen. . When something is left somewhere, you lost it. If someone else picks it up, they are stealing it. It is a crime to take someone elses goods for yourself, even if they are lost by someone else. Its not finders keepers in real life.

well, lesson learned for u i guess

By being an idiot mostly but also by having run into the bathroom I between meetings with a purse, a phone and an iPad in hand. To wash your hands you put iPad in black case down on black sink top and then put purse on top. Most of the rest of the time the iPad had been in my purse. So, my guess is I grabbed my purse and in my rush my eye didn't register the black iPad case on get black sink top.

So, yeah.

Larry will buy you a new one :)

I like to earn things :)

You earned it. You were running to an emergency porn meeting. :)

This could have solved all your problems...



If only you had your ipad wrist strap

Pimp out your foot job skills. Earn money. Buy a new one. Problem solved.

:2 cents:

Very crappy Sarah :( shit like that will ruin someones day for sure! Best of luck retrieving your pad.

Not only this but set it to snap a picture any time it's turned on so you can see the thieves face. :2 cents:

How many hours of homemade porn was on it?

That's good helpful advice and all but falsely claiming to be with the US Marshall Service is a lot bigger crime than stealing an Ipad !!

I would go with the offer of a reward if there was data that I needed. :2 cents:

someone should invent the ipad alarm. You place the sensor on the back of the ipad and you wear a small bracelet. When you walk more then 5 ft from the device, the braclet lights up as a warning.

sorry to hear about the loss, I know it can be a total pain :disgust

not right. if you lose something and some one finds it and takes it home that is not stealing. if someone takes something from you, then that is stealing. if you leave it somewhere then that shows that you do not want it and then who ever has it owns it.

i dont feel bad when someone loses something they are irresponsible. if someone steals something then i feel bad because it wasn't their fault.

After standing for the whole meet market my feet weren't fit for anybody.

Sad thing is none ..it is going to be a boring find for somebody beyond my meeting notes. I'm thankful for having a good memory apart from remembering to pick things up off sinks.

Make it an iPhone app and I'm sold

iStrap :)

Thank you Julius. It could be worse but it is annoying to have made a stupid error.

Maybe you'll get lucky.

I landed in Vegas, got to the Hard Rock, and moments later noticed I didn't have my cell phone. (I never ever loose anything.) Cab was gone already. Got to my room, called my cell, no one picked up, called the cab company, left a message, and then went to boot up my lap top to email everyone and tell them I lost my cell. I get an email from my phone saying "My name is mike and I have your cell". He was over at the Rio, I went over there, offered him money, he refused.... and just happens to be looking for some place to send adult dating traffic.

Go figure.

might show up at pawnstars.

oh lord someone's going to make that thread :helpme i have a ipad im trying to get rid of with 'Sarah's iPad' engraved on the back(its been crossed out no worries) :1orglaugh im sorry

Perhaps, you should switch to carrying a backpack.

I could be getting boss-head from Misty Stone and that backpack with all of my belongings would be on my back! Phone, 'puter, harddrive, camera or whatever-the-fuck...in the backpack.

but, what if you forget your backpack :Oh crap

i call bullshit, you make up lies. post proof or be banned :mad:

how the hell does he prove it? post a picture of him without the phone? =))

It only happend once, in a deserted rite-aid. :)

Fanny pack, Tofu. A fanny pack. :thumbsup

Happened within minutes :) It was a gift and somebody else had that engraved on it. So, I didn't really have a choice as to what it said.

you need to have the police view the tape. :2 cents:

I lived in the UK far too long to call it a fanny pack and be able to keep a straight face.
