iPad Just stolen :(

[Dr. Zaus]

So I'm sitting in my office on campus and some guy fitting this description ran in, grabbed my i-Pad and ran out.

So that was fun... I'm fat and he is skinny... so no catching him.

He got an i-Pad 2 w/ blue-tooth keyboard-case: I hope that's one less house he has to break into in-order to meet his 'needs'.

...no Mobile ME so no GPS tracking...

I'm thinking this means it's time to leave the i-pad world.


So, any suggestions for a replacement?


I need it to have a good PDF manager.

Get another iPad I guess, did you like it?

 

[Leros]

Thanks for the iPad, bro.

Um... didn't Apple make the "find my iphone/ipad" app free a while back? For your next one why not have it installed and set up just in case.

Wtf people steal shit right off your desk with you sitting there?

 

[Fritzo]

Asus Transformer or Samsung Galaxy is where it's at

Yep it's free, have it setup on my iPad and iPhone.

Depends on how "fat" the person is, I guess...

yea they cased the joint first... silly me, door open willing to help "students".

I'd have to spring for the 3g... which feels silly with 4g right around the corner.

I did, it did what I needed it to.


I'm thinking I'll go to the two local pawn shops tomorrow and find myself a nice-cheep iPad with blue-tooth key-board

laws, yea; see sig, i'm like 300lbs.

Ballzy though, if I caught his scrawny 5ft4 ass he'd be dead.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Wow that sucks. I would be pissed, and just feel this sense of revenge.

Oh, and I had to do it.... :sneaky:

Referencing your parody in the original thread is so fail

 

[Udgnim]

you're sitting in an office and some cholo runs in and grabs it?

what the hell kind of ghetto college are you at?

btw congrats on your weight loss so far. really hope you achieve your goal of 230.

 

[Sluggo]

Thanks for the iPad, ese.

Didn't you read the description of the thief??

 

[gevorg]

OP, I assume by now you reset all passwords that iPad had saved such as email, apps, etc. Last thing you want now is ID theft.

It's much less ghetto than my last college;

Las-Cruces is a fairly nice city of 100k people; 40% hispanic with average income and education that's much higher than where I'm from.

done and done.

Any tablet that will run PowerPoint/Excel/Word/browse the Internet/ play chess/spider solitaire?

I am tired of dragging my full sized laptop around when I travel for work.

Hey, I graduated from NMSU! I never had any problems with petty theft there. Sorry about the phone.

At one of my clients, a guy cased out an office, stepped in and grabbed a guy's Iphone off the charger while I was there. I got on the camera system and long story short, somebody on the staff recognized him and called the family up, and got it back.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

lol, Las Cruces.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

lol, Las Cruces.

It's a nice small town.

A netbook would work, and a 9" will fit in a BDU cargo pocket. Don't know about 10"

On the plus side, something just reminded me to set up mobile me on my iPad.
