Laptop Stolen!!!!

Well, it is one of those things that I thought wouldn’t happen to me even though it has been happening all over the US. But Last night while I was parked at The Ramada Inn in Moss Point, Mississippi my vehicle was broken into. The perpetrators broke the back side window of my jeep and stole my Dell Laptop, 3 Paintball guns, Poker set and PS2.

I pulled up at the motel at about midnight on Tuesday I checked and went to the room and when I walked out at 6:30am is when the nightmare began. I always bring laptop in the room with me, but I had forgot about it even being with me, because it was in the very back where it was placed by some friends i gave a ride too earlier that afternoon before leaving Demopolis.

So all morning this morning I have been calling my 2 banks, credit cards, and changing all of my internet passwords such as eBay, pay pal, bill pay, etc. I closed my one of my bank accounts just incase. I have reported it to the Moss Point Police and they said this type of crime has been on the rise in this area.

But I have learned a couple of valuable lessons.
1. Double check to make sure everything is out of my vehicle even if I am exhausted.
2. Put as password to prevent my computer from being accessed, even if it is stolen.
3. Park in an area where they have visible security cameras.
4. Buy a electric shocker for your vehicle so if the do break in it will shack the hell out of them or do something.

If i had done the following I wouldn’t be as upset or worried as I am now. So now I have got to buy a new Laptop. I had all my presentation stuff I use for the church. I had all my family pictures on there, some of my Granny, who has passed away. I would do anything just to get those things back, and let them have the computer. But any way thanks for listening I am just bummed out and depressed about all this.
