Note to ppl who carries notebook

[starwing]

Just got a call from my mother telling me that my brother's notebook was stolen.

Just a note to you guys, do not leave your notebook in the car even if it was for a mere 15 minutes.

For me, I dont leave my notebook in my car, even if the car is viewable distance from where I am sitting in mamak.

My brother went for lunch after college during lunch break at Carrefour Sri Petaling, came back to car, lock kena korek (not sure details) notebook gone.

One note, do not put your notebook in your car boot, there is no such thing as scanners or whatever shit that you hear, its all your stupidity. You go to a car park, take out your notebook from cabin and put inside boot, any car thief would know its a darn notebook already.

Secondly, get another bag, notebook bag is just another target for car thiefs.

Darn it, the system is just 6 darn days old !!

issit? .. i tot they wont claim, be cause u purposely put it inside worr, my fren tried claiming from RHB related insurance for his missing notebook, but cant, due to his policy got stated that leaving notebook system in car is "not claimable" because user fault ... kekekekekek ..

I think many people put the laptop in the car because it is very troublesome to carry around esp large / thick ones.

Solution? Buy a smaller laptop like the Dell Inspiron 700m or Fujitsu P5200. Yes, you pay more for less but it is very convenient to carry and use (if you are WiFi freak like me)...

Also, pls buy a proper bag... get those sack type or shoulder type... at least not so obvious.

I never leave my laptop out of sight... even take it with me to the toilet or at least chain it down with a Targus lock.

Then report it as snatch lor..

For me, I prefer backpacks, its not so noticeable, and easier to carry. I am using a 15" wide screen notebook, its about 4kg heavy. 2 extra batteries on the go, easily can weight about 5 KG.

I still remember stuffing my bag with 2 identical notebook, that was fun I tell you.

Please, dont leave your notebook in your car, its not worth the trouble, changing lock (if you are lucky) or windscreen (bad luck like hell) Money lost can get back, but what if that felle wait until you get into your car only kidnap your notebook? How ?
