Did you catch the bad guy? I hope so and I hope you jailed him. I didn't think that you would post something like that. No apology is necessary but it is appreciated. Thanks, rich! On 11/18/2014 8:00 AM, 'Ron Simmons' rjsimmons@... [TekScopes] wrote:

Bummer. Glad to hear that you got your PC back. Chris Trask N7ZWY / WDX3HLB Senior Member IEEE |

When I saw the post, my immediate reaction was "What the..." until I
realized that I had seen this type of attention-grabbing post before, from spammers, or nut jobs, or sellers of body enhancement meds... Good thing you got the PC back. Bottom line is: don't worry about it. Makes for an interesting story for you to tell other people! Mike N4MWP On 11/18/2014 09:00 AM, 'Ron Simmons' rjsimmons@... [TekScopes] wrote:

Howdy,
? ?Was your Laptop "stolen" or "Hijacked"? ? If stolen, how did you get so lucky to get it back? ?If you did physically recover it, I'd love to know how. ?Tracking software? ? Or do you live in such a small town that the guy who stole it was sitting at the table next to you in the diner? Dan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

I put 2 passwords on my laptops, 1 is for BIOS/HD, this prevents a computer from booting to windows and 1 password for windows. Between the two, it defeats 99.99% of unauthorized users. Windows password are easy to beat, but you have to get past the BIOS /HD password first!! LOL I also put? a small sticker on it that says '2 passwords required' could discourage theft next time. I use public wifi a lot on the road.... '73 Pete On Tuesday, November 18, 2014 9:43 AM, "Daniel Koller kaboomdk@... [TekScopes]" <TekScopes@...> wrote:
