A couple of nights ago, I was riding the bus over to Wal-Mart late at night and I was having a very nice conversation with one of my friends before I left the house, so I was continuing it on the way to Wal-Mart. However, before I got to Colfax & Pierce (we were just far enough along for us to be in Lakewood), someone looked as though he was just walking normally off of the bus, and then he snatched my laptop and bolted out of the door.
The thief was given chase by one of the other passengers. I heard from the other passenger that the thief was assaulted by him and my laptop was returned to me. The problem? He threw my MacBook Pro and completely cracked my screen. (See: 0823090432.jpg on Flickr - Photo Sharing! ) Lakewood police took forever responding and took down a police report. I am still trying to get in touch with my renters insurance agent.
Lessons learned?
- Next time, I am buying a desktop
- I shoulda left it at home because of the area of town I was in/going to
- I should not be using expensive stuff out in the open when riding the bus.
- I should not sit next to the door while carrying/using expensive stuff
- I should have purchased a rider on my renter's insurance that would have covered this.
