Laptop stolen

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Laptop stolen

Post by bumblemusprime » Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:09 am

Didn't realize the trunk of the car was still open. Someone snatched my backpack with my laptop and iPod in it out of the car.

Anyone got some genius advice on how to find the bastards?

Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

This is more like it.

Actually, they're going to get a rude shock. There's a pretty good porn blocker built into Firefox. I've got kids, y'know, and I never want to have the "Daddy, what's College Lesbo Party Dot Com?" conversation.

I saw a dude with a souvenir T-shirt from a "ranch" in Vegas the other day. No lie. Naked chick with cowboy boots and the logo. All it needed was a slogan. "I raided the chicken coop at the Moonlight Ranch."

Whoever comes up with a cheap homing beacon the size of a quarter, like the one Batman uses, and sells it at a reasonable price will be a friggin billionaire.

Imagine. You could implant one on your kids and never have to worry about them being kidnapped. You could put them in your car (or laptop), and the police could nab them.

Why does this not exist? This, and a remote for the TV that has a button that can be pushed somewhere that causes it to let out an audible "beep" like phones these days.

You'd still have to worry about them being kidnapped. You'd just be able to find them a lot more easily.

Surely that would be a deterrent to kidnapping then? Course, people do some crazy ass ****.

This is clearly him. I can't wait until the officer calls and returns the laptop, with some heroin thrown in.

Hey, if you've got some other way to improve salmon habitat that DOESN'T involve getting everything and everyone high on smack, junk, horse, china white, chiva, H, tar, black, dope, brown, dog, food, negra, nod, or white horse, I'd love to hear about it.

You've already got a new laptop. Just ask for the heroin and sell it on for the profit.

Seriously? Sweet!

Think about how much crime could be stopped with such devices. I think if it's small enough (and doesn't cause cancer), such devices would be revolutionary, particularly if they could be 'implanted' in an unknown location on your children. Might sound a little extreme, but we live in extreme times where sick ****s are rampant, at least here in the U.S.

Not to mention being able to locate items, like your bike, that have been stolen from you. Put them in cars. Put them in bikes. Put them in TV's Put them in people.

Awesome. Do you have a link about the one you put on your bike?
