That is really sad, it sucks to have a laptop stolen whatever brand it is.

It is sad, I feel very sorry.

But there are few things to consider here.

First of all something called "opportunity". If you're a deep sleeper and live alone then why the heck would you doze off with open windows and do thief the favor.

Secondly CC can be reported stolen to stop any possible transactions by thieves.

Thirdly she posted two videos, in the second video which is 2 minutes longer with a guy talking too, is it just me who feels that this whole thing is just a joke? Please I like to know.

I didn't post the 2nd video with the guy talking bc I think it's just stupid but the whole thing is not a joke.

Lives alone on the ground floor. Goes to sleep leaving the window open...

She's lucky the thief/robber only decided to take the laptop.

I believe from the video, she is on the second floor.

For the record, if the poster of the video itself wants to be taken seriously (which I am really doubting that this is real), she should have been more serious in the video, and not been singing or have the "special guest" come in looking like a crack addict filling in for the guy from Masterpiece Theatre.

EDIT: Since I am on YouTube alot, I seriously contemplated responding to her video with a comical video response....but decided to take the higher road...

She is attractive. Single?

I agree with Steve that she isn't serious.

Well this is an excellent reason for everyone that owns a laptop to put a boot up password and a hard drive password on their computer.

The boot up password will not allow them to use the laptop but sometimes it can be hacked.

The hard drive Password ... well it just becomes a dead weight. No way to really get in and hack that one. This will keep your info safe and secure. Of course if you leave the laptop running without a password protected screen saver, then you just let the thief have it all.
