Yea, stolen as of 1PM today. While I’m not so devastated of the loss of my laptop, but the same can’t be said for the data inside.
Me and my classmates put our bags into the boot before we leave college. We head to Lucky Restaurant at Sri Petaling for lunch and we parked near the restaurant (just outside Kings Bakery). After lunch, we drove to a cendol store near by and parked where we could see the car. After cendol, we head back to college to drop me there. The next thing I found out, my laptop and another classmate’s is missing.
Now, the possible place where the laptops could be stolen was at the restaurant. However, we parked beside a busy road, so we thought the chance of getting stolen was pretty low. Also, I doubt there’s people going around looking for laptops there. So the possible origin started from college. Most probably someone was watching out for guys like us putting laptops in our car and followed us to our destination.
We lodged a police report and got the car photographed for the tampering. I told Hau Cheong to issue an alert to the students on Webspace, but so far it’s not been approved yet.
I guess I done whatever I could do already. So now, I doubt recovery of the laptop is possible, but if you do come across people selling laptops at cheap prices online or offline please to take note of my specs. Just incase you encounter them.
