My laptop was stolen out of my car during church Sunday(special place in Hell for those that do that). I was reading some crazy stats about the number of them that are stolen every year and the number of them not ever found...

Anybody else ever had yours stolen and got it back?

I have also been looking at software to put on my next one in case it is stolen and wondering if anyone uses the software

Damn immoral Christians. Everything that's wrong with the world today is their fault. Even laptop theft.

I remeber when I was in Law School one of my classmates was stolen and then got it back b/c the person who bought it off a fence was on the internet, it automatically signed the orignal owner in on MSN, and one of his friends contacted the person who had it, and then it was subsequently returned. Turns out the theif had wandered in while away from his halfway house.

i don't think i have any software that really can't be replaced either

if you are a homeowner, you should be able to file a claim on it...

Well, there should be people like that at church. What would a hospital be like if only healthy people were there?

And we had a personal DVD player stolen INSIDE our church.
