Jef, darling, there is no 'or something' in that. I want the fucker found and my laptop back. That's a good chunk of my life missing, and I sure as hell do not get off knowing I registered to him as 'easy mark'. And I want to hide under my bed knowing that I am.

Crime can strike anyone. I wouldn't say you are an 'easy target' in any other sense than being in the wrong circumstances at the moment. But yeah, I hope he gets punished for what he did.

Jeff, I'm a dinky little Asian girl, late teens-early twenties, in glasses and office attire. I'm a whole hell of a lot easier than most of the people walking in the street.

Yeah, like Jeff said it can hit anyone. Being in a room with a bunch of druggies in an appartment complex where the administration isn't exactly reasuring. I felt pretty shitty for my entire first semester at college. It's easy to get scared, but a huge part of any confrontation is in one's head. It's good to be cautious, but don't let fear take over.

The profiling is probably based on skirt, (high heels?), and the most expensive thing he's likely to see on someones person, plus empty street. So material criteria, not you.

It might end up on Craigslist or eBay.

Here's hoping he's stupid enough to do that.

Even so, all my stuff is gone. All my lovely excel spreadsheet, my music, my scribbles, my collections, my bookmarks all of it is just gone.No way anyone is stupid enough to try and fob off a password protected everything without wiping the entire hard drive. Dell stopped selling the D800, so if anyone does end up buying it, and they need the power cord sitting happily in my backpack, they might be able to trace whoever bought stolen goods.

Even formatted data is often recoverable.
