iPad Just stolen :(

[Ns1]

Yep. OP knows better than to be actually using his iPad sitting in his office. 🙄

I was talking to Leros, not the OP.

You can unlock your car with On-star but they still cant figure out where a stolen computer is when it is turned on???? Life is not fair.

 

[piasabird]

Maybe you should E-mail yourself some Virus?

 

[shortylickens]

You guys remember Starter jackets?

How would something called "Contents Insurance" cover either of those situations? It really covers anything you take around with you? That's insane. What stops people from just lying about losing things?

Contents insurance covers the contents in your home, but you can pay extra for what you carry about with you, most good contents insurance providers have some kind of personal item insurance included.

I remember wanting one really bad and then being sorely disappointed with it.

So will we see your naked pictures online soon?

No big deal just claim on your insurance and they'll get you a new one... Problem solved.

Sure $500 deductible on a $499 item. Stop trolling

Do you remember stories of dudes getting beat up and mugged for them?

This was a widespread deal? I was beat and mugged for my starter jacket. Seriously.

Or people being shot for their Air Jordans.

It was HUGE. All over the news. Happened many times. In fact one guy got knifed (lived) which made no sense to me. Why would you wanna steal a cool jacket and put holes in it?

Ph.D. student... so clearly I have little association with reality.

also: Thank's zinfamous.

I got some stylusi for the iPad but they were a little 'soft'.

The Thinkpad Tablet uses a digitizer pen, which is completely separate from the capacitive touch that is built in for your fingers. Using a capacitive stylus with an iPad or other tablet will get your pretty crappy results. With a digitizer pen, it's as close to pen and paper as you can get with an electronic device.

Comparing the iPad fad to starter jackets was a beautiful move... unlike crap troll 2000's attempt to derail the thread.

Fucking liar "OH, I lost my million dollars.. it was on my person, INSURANCE PLEASE!!!111"

 

[HeXen]

i remember this kid who got knifed to death for his Nike shoes. i think they were air pumps even. Its all about who wants it more.

While he is a derailing troll, I find it weird that you guys don't think this kind of insurance exists. Here in NZ contents insurance covers all of your ordinary possessions, so if you lose an expensive camera or phone you're completely entitled to claim on it. The excess is normally in the $200-$300 range, making a claim worthwhile for expensive goods.

How do you propose to fix this to an iPad?

iPad => iGloo => iBeam

So how do you solve my "I lost a bazillion dollars" fraud problem?

 

[OutHouse]

How do you "lose" a rolex and a DSLR? Not trying to be a dick...but seriously how to do actually misplace something that valuable?

That being said, there's not a replacement insurance available in the US like that. We have renter's or homeowners insurance but that really only covers things in your home or maybe your car. And there's usually a decent sized deductable...$500+ which is almost the replacement cost of of a lower end iPad.

because it was a fake rolex

 

[HAL9000]

Sure $500 deductible on a $499 item. Stop trolling

My "deductible" which in England we call an "excess" is £50, stop trolling.

I'm assuming it's a joke, or one would hope so.

You guys don't have content insurance in the states? Granted I didn't know of the concept till a few years back when my father had a bunch of stuff stolen from him while he was on holiday. Camcorder, cell phone and a number of other smaller things. He had content insurance, claimed about $1000 and got the money less maybe a 2-$300 deductible. He can't even remember if he had to show any proof of purchase, in other words they didn't give him any hassle at all.
