Saturday, 23 August 2008.
LR's move-in day at the University of California.

3:30 AM: Sleep.

9:00 AM: Wake up. Shower. Finish packing. Prepare to leave. Get call saying there are long lines and I should come later.

11:00 AM: Finally leave house. Arrive 40 minutes later.

12:30 PM: Finish unpacking. Lunch with parents; they leave.

1:30 PM: Hang out with random people. Go back to room with roommate around 5:00.

5:00 PM: Return to room. Organize everything meticulously.

5:30 PM: Friend calls about dinner.

5:40 PM: Roommate, friend, and I leave for Crossroads. We meet some of my HS friends and their families there. Return at 6:30.

6:35 PM: Return to room. LAPTOP IS MISSING. I look everywhere for it, but my beautiful VAIO and its power cord are both gone. My roommate's Macbook Pro is still on his desk. Clearly VAIOs are cooler.

I go downstairs to alert the RA on duty. I then call the police. The police tell me to stay where I am. My third roommate is afraid I'd suspect him and tells me to rifle through all his stuff. I think he worries too much and just wait for the police. Then they call me and tell me to meet an officer outside Cunningham. I do so.

6:45 PM: We traipse off with two RAs [mine and the one on duty] to go meet Officer Koh. He's waiting with another girl. She had her laptop stolen as well. I'm surprisingly calm, but it's probably due to the sheer shock of it all.

6:55 PM: Officer Koh gets a call on the radio that they've arrested three men - one of them has two laptops, a nondescript black one and a silver Sony VAIO. +10 points for the good guys.

7:10 PM: My laptop and I are reunited. They had me verify that it was indeed my laptop; then they took my personal information and had me sign some forms and released me.

7:15 PM: I return in triumph to Davidson Hall. I am now known as 'that kid who got his laptop stolen on the first day'. I am now an advertisement for Sony and for the UCPD.

Amusing appendices-

1) The other girl was in the room right next door when her laptop was taken; she walked back and saw two strange men walking off with her computer. That's how the police got the descriptions of the perps.

2) She's actually an RA; she was talking next door about the importance of security and protection of personal property.

3) All of her money and credit cards and electronics were on her desk. Only her laptop was taken.

4) They actually were about to release the perps because they had no concrete evidence. Then they found an illegal weapon on one of them. 10 15 saved my life.

Now there are police on every street and around every corner. Hyuk.

Wait. They had your laptops in their possession and they were going to release these people?

What. The. Fuck?

VAIOs are cooler no doubts about that.

well one of them had the laptops in a bag and apparently the police didn't have the authority to search the bag; they found the weapon and then arrested and then confiscated the bag + laptops inside.

really damn lucky the perp was carrying a weapon -_-

How was it taken while you were at dinner? Wasn't your door locked while all of you were out, or was one guy left behind to take care of the room?

Anyway, you might want to lock that laptop up whenever you don't take it somewhere with you.... it isn't just a coincidence it disappeared on the first day.

my door was locked but yeah one guy wasn't with us when we left so he was in the building; probably left the door unlocked by accident.

damn you got bad luck :-(

but good luck for getting it back! I kinda find it funny how those guys took the RA's lappy but not wallet and the rest lol. And how she was giving a security lecture at that time too LOL

that's a lie, laptops get stolen all the time on campus. people just walk in to unlocked rooms and take them. we get campus security e-mails throughout the year about stuff like that -_-

That must have sucked! I should be careful the first day I move into my dorm. Ahaha, the robber is an idiot for not taking the money and credit cards.. Taking the cards would be so much more convenient in hiding D;
