Stolen iPod

[asherman13]

Unfortunately this is COMPLETELY off topic but I felt I had to say it anyways.

It's really weird noticing something you wrote almost six months ago and basically have no general recollection of writing it. That said, I still stand by with what I said before: iPod insurance sure would come in handy.

Done.

stolen ipod

my friends ipod got stolen and she was asking me, if the person who took it types the serial number into the serial number box on the apple website to see what kind of ipod it is, can that be tracked?

Ok. So I just bought my new pink ipod 4GB nano a week ago. One week! Unbeliveably it's been stolen/missing. I can't explain what my ipod means to me, Iv'e waited so long to finally get one and I can't belive it's really gone. I still have the recept, box, and all. What can I do to get it back, and or get a new one. If anyone at all can help, please do.

thanks so much.

Find it. Contact the places you might have left it and ask; leave contact information for them to get a hold of you if it turns up. Without finding the iPod itself, there's not much for you to do aside from saving up for another one.

The receipt and the box aren't going to help you, and the police certainly isn't going to look for a $200 iPod. If it disappears, you'll unfortunately just have to buy another one.

Sorry to hear about the iPod.
My iPod got stolen a while ago, I actually developed a twitch...total withdrawal!
As I searched for what to do I discovered this website to report stolen iPod:
http://www.stolen-property.com/report-stolen-ipod.php
It really made me feel better knowing there is a permanent record of it reported stolen online.
Luckily I got a new iPod and the twitch went away.

my iPod was stolen last night...there are some people that have been stealing from cars in the same area. They have been only stealing iPods that were in plain view. I had mine in the glove box and it was stolen. They have hit the same parking lot that I know of a few times. What can I legally do? I am willing to just hide in that parking lot and wait...(I am a big dude and know how to fight) though I do not plan on getting violent. I only say this because I would be able to defend myself. I am talking should I video tape and see if I can get a license plate number?

One way to recover your serial number is to go into iTunes, click 'Preferences' then goto the 'Devices' tab. The iPod should be there is you haven't updated iTunes since you last connected your stolen iPod. One way to increase your chance of recovering your stolen iPod is to report it stolen online on http://www.stolenlostfound.net/, your online stolen iPod report appears on the search engines within a day. Hope this helps.
