Well we threw a killer party last night and just my luck, some dick stole my laptop. We had a ton of people just packed in our basement and had a separate room where my buddy was dj-ing with my laptop and his turn tables. Well, somehow during the night somebody managed to steal my laptop w/o us realizing the music stopped or changed. Now I'm out $1500 and a $275 minor/noise violation.

I know it's my fault and all that stuff, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to pursue getting my laptop back or recovered. I thought I heard once about macs having a sort of gps built in so they could be tracked down, but I called and talked to a guy that told me otherwise (he sounded sorta dumb though). Anyways, any help or advice would be great.

Matt is likely right.

And laptop lojack FTW. I know Dell has a service built into their BIOS.

Got insurance?

I'll check that site out when I'm sober. Right now I'm just drinking my sorrows away. I just found a post on craigslist for a macbook fs so I told him im very interested and if we meet up in person I'll check if its mine. Cross your fingers for me.
Shotgun!

Good luck on finding it and the beat down that follows.

No beat down necessary. If I got it back I'd just be happy to have it. It's tough right now looking at every person on campus and thinking they stole my computer. Plus I hate having to borrow my roommates' laptops all the time.
Would?

You have the serial number? Did you have apple care on the laptop?

yes and yes

I've filed a report with the cops. Apple can't track it down or anything, but they put it into there system that my laptop is stolen, but they weren't super nice or helpful about it. The protection plan doesn't cover anything, but I can get a refund and get some money back on just the protection plan.

Basically, I'm screwed and I doubt I'ma ever see my laptop again :(
