Uh.. tough luck Sarah, glad it turned out well!

Buy a lottery ticket, you were very lucky to get your laptop back.

I bet they would had a few WTF moments if they had kept hold of your notebook.....

Glad you are ok...

I second that.
Full disk encryption is your friend, then you don't have to worry about it.

Glad everything turned out well and you got your stuff back!

Backup
 

Thanks for the reminder to backup my laptop.
Had my laptop stolen a few years ago. Insurance got me a new one, but not the pictures that were only on that hard drive.
The laptop was in a backpack under the bed, along with my passport. I reported the passport stolen. Got a form letter from the State Dept., saying the passport was canceled and I must turn in the canceled passport. WTF??

Good ending to what could've been a horrible story! The good news is, you got two pieces of fucking scum off the streets.

Absolutely brilliant idea!
So that the handgun (which would have been in her bag) would have been stolen along with her laptop ...

Can you whack your skype on please Sarah, thanks :)

glad it worked out Sarah and that you didn't get hurt...

as for the heroes talking about warning shots.. how prepared would you have to be to have a gun out and ready for warning shots to have been made? Anything aside from having one in a holster would be FAR too late, they would be long gone before you even got it out and you'd just look like a retard firing off 20 seconds later. SECONDLY, the fact that she admittedly is not that familiar with guns, no less hand guns, would mean she, if she got it out fast enough, would fire once get startled from it and possibly drop it... Not everyone is dirty Harry.

If I ever felt the need to have to bring a gun on my way to the gym in the morning i'd probably move...


PS: I like guns...

That is why i dont dare to carry laptop anywhere,i rather take usb stick and rent a time in some cyber caffe if needed.

This is just more proof that exercise thing is bad for you. Stay home and sleep in, it is better for you :)

why the fuck would you put a pistol in a laptop bag? :helpme :1orglaugh

I know and lucky that the two other people around actually were the type to help a stranger.

Ha...for real!

Yeah, people don't tend to think about the fact those bullets come down.

I'm on my phone but once I hit my work computer I will fire it up.

where are mugshots?

So advise her to do it "Cript style" ... Okay dueces ?

:1orglaugh oh man my side hurts

I'm very aware that what goes up, must come down. But the statement was about her firing warning shots at people. Warning shots are fired up in the air or directly into the ground, not aimed at the crowd. Common sense and fire arm safety.

Shit, that must have been horrible.

Although, back up lesson here. Did you have all you needed backed up?

I had just bought it so there wasn't actually much on it yet. Which, was a bit of a blessing when I thought I wasn't getting it back. Plus, much of what I use it for is on the cloud thingie.

Don't let it bother you, this type of stuff should remind you of how good you are. These people are just parasites.

Keep this in your livejournal and off gfy.

You got off lucky, be careful next time

Fleshlight only hires the finest of minds.

Do we have to call up your police department in order to get a detailed description of these two criminals? They are going to be back on the street very soon and perhaps some people want to be able to watch out for them.

Two guys that don't posses my laptop.
