| car got broken into over the weekend
my car got broken into over the weekend 
they stole my work bag that had an Ipad2 in it. I had it in my bag and put the bag on the floor in the back seat behind tinted windows. Sucks balls
anyways i was wondering if anyone knows if apple is able to help track it or locate it, theres alot of files on it that i need for work.
any help would be great.

Apple can do it, but they won't track it. At least that has been the case up to this point. If they started doing that, it would open up a huge can of worms. There was a thread on RS about a computer geek that tracked his Macbook down. Perhaps another RS member can find the thread.
I gather you didn't back up your important files. More details on who, what, where, when, and why the iPad2 was left in the car? No alarm? Did anyone see you with the iPad?

just got the ipad about 3 weeks ago so didnt think about having the need to back it up quite yet. I was having dinner at bamboo grove on 3 and granville in richmond, parked behind the restraunt. They broke the window and reached in and grabbed the bag. Its a stock alarm system which doesnt go off until the door is open. Pretty dumb, this happened on Friday between 730 pm to 930 pm. Finished dinner went back to my car to drive my grandparents home and realized the window was broken.

Good luck finding your stuff.
Maybe next time you won't leave valuables in the car though.

A while back, coming out of Richmond Center, I noticed a guy creeping around my car, and sure enough he was trying to get in. This was at like 4pm in broad daylight, blew my mind. Ever since then, I never leave any bags/valuables in sight, always just throw it into the trunk. Takes 20 seconds, especially when you have something expensive in your bag.
Keep an eye out for cheap/stolen ipads on CL i suppose, sorry for your loss.

as well, whenever you buy something expensive, make note of the serial number of the item. should the police retrieve the item from the thief or pawnshop or etc, they can then return the item back to you. if no serial number is provided with the theft report, it's a much longer process (sometimes impossible) to match your stolen property with the recovered items.

I gave the cops the serial already
I drive an escalade so there is really no trunk just thot the tinted windows would be enough to mask the black bag on the floor. Rookie mistake Posted via RS Mobile | |

just advice for next time, always put anything that you think might get stolen in the trunk.
Takes 10 seconds not even.
