My police adventure

I already put this on my myspace blog the day this story happened, but now I thought its worth putting it on my new blog here! It happened on a nice warm day of april the 23th.

Okay, I just wanted to tell you my police adventure here so I dont have to tell it again and again :) I already posted it really quickly on the day itself, but this is the more detailed version :D

My laptop got stolen from the car a week ago

Now some amazing guy found an ad on the internet, went to the guy who was selling it, didn't really trust the guy when he arrived, checked my laptop, saw my name, went home, googled me, found my website, called me with the info and that he thought has some 'interesting information for me' :D.

Then! I told the police of course, but they where pretty slow as usual, so I contacted the guy myself (under a false name) who was selling my laptop, to make an appointment, i pretended I wanted to buy it.

So I went there with 4 police officers in 2 cars, with guns and all, from Amsterdam to Almere. I went inside together with 2 cops (they didnt wear their suits obviously), talked to the guy as if i'm interested, checked out the laptop, then I gave the sign to the police that it is MY laptop (the sign was that I had to say "I'd like to buy it"), then one of the officers went outside to take the "big guys" (in uniform), and then they arrested the guy :D You should have seen the seller's face when suddenly these people said "We're the police" Haha.
Then we went back to Amsterdam, then after a while I could take my laptop back!!

Thank you very much Bob! (the guy who was really helpful to get me my laptop back)

Oh, yeah, when I went home, I checked my laptop (almost everything that was on it was deleted, unfortunately), but I opened the trash, and there was this mysterious image file. I opened it, and there was a picture that probably the thieves took just for fun using photobooth, the built in camera, and forgot to empty the trash. Weird, to see the theives faces on your own computer. (The guy from before was just the seller, not the thief). I sent it to the police of course, and I got this nice message back from them that I could call myself already a detective. Haha.

Anyway, I already bought a new macbook, so if anyone is interested in buying my old one, message me ! Its in perfect condition.

I still miss my guitarsynth and sound interface, which also got stolen, hopefully i'll get them back soon too.

Anyway, thats my adventure of today.
