who r "they*"?

qtel ?

they r not worth visiting ... i 've tried , every department is confused about what they talk. exept for 1 guy who came to the same conclution like me after some research.

@blackbeard

thanks , about the reward idea .i think thats a smart idea which darude can afford to neglect.And its not all about the money again , "not only broke people try saving , the ones who knows to save are not broke"

watever it is , its easy & no regrets

a laptop is theoretically possible but practically is impossible. We don't have any static IP's here to be associated with our machines. Even though, don't think that any will go to Dos_Command Prompt to type ipconfig /all to get that number and save it.

Second thing, if this guy never connect to the internet ... then we got a lot case here. Most of the laptops got a built-in NIC which means changing the NIC is impossible. What if this guy would use a wireless USB to connect? Means every time he will pass it to another laptop or machine ... we will get a different MAC-Addresses ...

well.. that's just an expression to tell "You've got me dude"..

hehehe.. hope he could find his laptop, 8k is not such a big money (well, for me) not to Darude of course as I can see 13k is a few coins to him.. lolz..

sorry to hear that dude.. hope someone on your company had seen your vaio and tell you who've done it.. or maybe the best way you could do is post an ads saying you are looking for your Sony Vaio laptop, a little reward would do.. this is just an unsolicited advice dude.. besides there's no harm if you try this.. and if you found it using this tactic, treat me in Starbucks... hahahah..

the thing is , it was stolen at my work place and that same day a lot of old staff who worked for temp basis walked in,, so i am sure its 1 of them but i am new at the company to know who would be the thief, they r not my friends too.

i went to the cops and wrote a report, and the cop who writes the reports says " its all in god's hand if we find it" and$ my other cuzn who works at the public prosecution says "files here once closed never open, i am not offending qatar cops but this truly is the scene here..

BTW it was a Sony Vaio , 8300 riyals thats the only reason i an concerned, if it was 4000 riyals i would have forgotten about it in an easier way. but i am sure wat goes around comes around so, he/she is a big *ss.

about the ip detection thing is true, i have had a reasearch on it goin up n down to qtel , ppl over there say there is a way but qtel actually did not implement this system in qatar yet. i have even read about the cases in austarlia and usa , they do trace it within a second after that ps is connected to the net.

sad , my little Vaio is gone.

Theft has been proven that the thief is in the immediate vicinity of your home this is a fact. It is a friend or a neighbour or a work colleague - check it out

A clever thief would just do that. But more than often I guess they steal it for monetary gains and sell the stuff as soon as possible.

yes.. maybe if it is not really stolen, if you did misplaced it somewhere it can be found.. coz if it is stolen, the thief will do anything not to be traced.. like a stolen cellphone, one just removed the sim and it is hard to traced where it was...

Thanks blackbeard and yes like all security procedures this one also can be broken but at least it gives you a small chance of recovering I guess.

"ZTRACE GOLD is undetectable and unerasable on a laptop's hard drive." what if the one stollen it is clever enough to remove the harddrive and replace it with a new one or the thief took it before his flight to the opposite part of the world, are you still going to chase for it? you'll just waste your money for spending on this kind of software. anyway, i'm just making a scenario here, not to oppose you qatman..

For those of you who still have their laptops with them check http://www.ztrace.com/zTraceGold.asp

the police can find it I am sure. However, the thief is in the immediate surrounding I think.

like darude says.. there's actually no way.. and even if you have hacked its IP, we're still a way far from James Bond movies..

I think there are ways to trace a stolen Labtop and I will check because as soon as this person logs in to the internet there is a possibility

By DaRuDe• 3 Jan 2008 07:32
