<p>Wow that's quick! What do they even do with those stolen laptops? Sell them for some cash?</p>
<p>Haha, use them :)</p>
<p>Desktops are fine. Don't worry about not having the portability of a laptop. Very few people I know actually need a portable computer. Barely anyone takes laptops to lectures for notetaking.</p>
<p>Yah um I made my own account because I don't wanna use my friend's anymore lol. I'm chanx, or half of chanx.</p>
<p>@Pacmanwu aww that sucks, I'm over at Muir.</p>
<p>Are there reported thefts of other things besides laptops? Like would anyone steal speakers or a mouse? (I have a mouse I'm rather fond of now)</p>
<p>Yes, loads of other things such as Ipods, Ipod speakers, CARS....basically anything that can be stolen. I'm not saying to not bring any of these things. Just make sure you keep them at a situated location. The MOST IMPORTANT advice I'll give everyone here is LOCK YOUR DOORS. I can't stress this enough. Lock them for every reason. NEVER leave your rooom unattended while unlocked.</p>
<p>what if your roommate leaves the door open? bah</p>
<p>beat his/her a$$ every time he/she does. have a serious talk in the beginning of the year about being mutually responsible for the room.
I'm most likely gonna set up a surveillance system, hide a camera somewhere and monitor the room when no one's in it.</p>
<p>wait isnt that illegal? you cant film someone with him knowing hes being filmed</p>
<p>hahahaah, or what if like you film something inadvertently? Like.. fornication.</p>
<p>i'll steal your laptop at night then</p>
<p>i dont give a damn. i'd erase the files every day. i dont want my crap stolen, i worked hard for it</p>
<p>So would installing a camera actually be a viable option?</p>
<p>i can't believe you guys are actually considering secretly videotaping your room. i'd hate to be your roomate.</p>
<p>it would be an extremely pointless option</p>
<p>I haven't had a problem with theft at all. I leave my door wide open for hours/days at a time, and not even cash lying on my clearly visible desk goes missing. Maybe I'm just blessed with nice suitemates. I don't even take my keys with me anymore. I just leave them in my door usually.</p>
<p>no dont video tape. If i would catch my roomate videotaping me i would sue the hell out of him in civil court</p>
<p>Ah in that case, I'm gonna leave my door and windows wide open and let everyone in.</p>
<p>Thanks guys :)</p>
<p>in that case i would steal your stuff and give your woman a foot massage :O</p>
<p>I'll be rooming with two other guys, so uhhh, you can go ahead and give them foot massages. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No problems getting walked in on? =P</p>
