Its Gone
I brought my brand new ipod mini to school, 2 days later it was stolen I got a new shuffle 1 week later it rules but I'm not bringing my pod to school again
# 1 Re: Its Gone
Wow, that sucks. Have you tried looking everywhere for it? Maybe you just lost it.
# 2 Re: Its Gone
I'm sorry about your mini but at least you got the shuffle. I hope you keep that safe now. Do you have any idea who took it?
# 3 Re: Its Gone
Ya looked everywhere and if I knew who took it I would ring there necks but on a happier note I love my shuffle have you guys ever gotten any gadget stolen at school I got my phone my CD player {got that back and we kicked the guys ###} and my ipod
# 4 Re: Its Gone
There's an old saying, "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me three times I'm an idiot." Well the idiot part I made but but dude you obliously you don't have a very secure school.
# 5 Re: Its Gone
No one steals my ####.. I leave #### in my desk 24/7, when i leave i say u take this, i will kill u.. No one ever touches it. Because they know ill kill em 2. Sorry to hear bout ur iPod getting jacked, that really does suck.
# 6 Re: Its Gone
ya but this one aint going to school no it's not too secure lots of pot heads have you guys gotten anything stolen
# 7 Re: Its Gone
You'll kill someone over an iPod? Interesting...
Why not just carry your stuff with you then you won't have to "kill" anyone.
# 8 Re: Its Gone
I actually knew a kid that stole stuff he told all kind of ways he steals stuff now I now how to keep things more secure
# 9 Re: Its Gone
how does it get stole from school? i just keep it in my pocket when at school.
# 10 Re: Its Gone
ya with a full size or even a mini its not too easy or smart
# 11 Re: Its Gone
oh and my friend said that his prime target is people stupid enough to use the clip he said when the hallways crowed he walks up next swipes it off someone and they think the just got bumped I thought I would feel it but the more walked in crowed hallways the more I knew I was wrong
# 12 Re: Its Gone
most things get stolen out of your PE locker or your backpack at lunch....just keep it in your pocket and at PE switch out the lock they give you with one of your own cuz sometimes the master key gets stolen from the janitor
happened at my school
my friend got caught stealing this one kids mini like a week after taking someone elses 60gig photo....he had the keys
# 13 Re: Its Gone
man...my high school wasnt secure either...but i new better than carrying stuff like that with me. I always carried my cell phone on me thought, cause i would go to work right after school...But still that was always in my pocket. I never had understood how people get their things stolen.
Just dont show whatever u take to anyone when u take it to school. No matter how valuable...keep it in your pocket, or dont take it at all...

Hit'EmUp: Your friend steals iPods? :(
# 15 Re: Its Gone
You should try asking people about it. Some people who steel stuff brag about it and ask if other want to buy it. You might find who took it. It worked with my friend, he got lucky.
# 16 Re: Its Gone
he dont steal em no more...#### happens
# 17 Re: Its Gone
ipod thieves are crap, any thief is crap. I never carry more than one gadget at once at any moment (other than home), its better to be focused on one device and keep it safe than to focus on two and lose one in the end

# 18 Re: Its Gone
Ya I got my CD player stolen at lunch once when i left my bookbag at the lunch table to go to the bathroom for just a second. Now since Ive gotten my ipod it never goes to school with me but like half the school has ipods now-a-days so Im not that worried about bringing it to school its just getting on the subway to go home part that im worried about lol. Because I think even if i do have regular headphones someone is still gonna try and rob me and find i have a ipod and really take my stuff lol.
# 19 Re: Its Gone
Not to sound rude about the entire situation, but plain and simple, this wouldn't have happened to you if you had not taken it to school. Reading all these posts about items being stolen at school simply rouses no sympathy. The bottom line is that these items do not belong at school. It's kind of ironic that the purpose of attending school is to become more educated and to be able to make wiser decisions. However, some of you people still choose to take high-valued items (be it personal or monetary value) to school. Come on guys, use a little common sense. If you are the least bit reserved about these items being stolen at school or on the way to/from school then DO NOT TAKE THEM. (Steps down off of soapbox)
# 20 Re: Its Gone
i personally have not taken my ipod to school beacuse i no for a fact that at least two kids are breaking into people cars and houses, and they go to my school, but I am thinking about taking it to school beacuse my 5th block teacher gives like 20 minutes of free time at the end of class every day and one kid always has his ipod out. Also these days most of the kids have mp3 players. just get diffrent headphones a ood case 2 protect it and get a remote so that u dont have 2 take it out all the time.
and that is my 2 cents
# 21 Re: Its Gone
My iPod mini is lanyarded and secure around my neck, so it'll never get stolen unless someone is stupid enough to mug me in front of a crowded school.
# 22 Re: Its Gone
Apple iPod hp - 20GB w/ Speck Case, Dock and Remote
Apple iPod shuffle - 512MB w/ Sports Case
Apple iPod mini Blue - 4GB w/ Dock and Lanyard
Ahaha quite the collection there! Well I guess I did just buy a mini despite having a 20gb 3G, but I'll give my 20gb to my sis. The 20gb is just slightly too big to run with, IMO.

Some people like to study to music. Some people have to walk quite a ways to school or ride the bus.
Can't apple make somekinda thing where if your ipod is stolen it won't work anymore. like by the serial number. Itunes asks for your serial number. whjy can't you call ipod, tell em its stolen and the next time the theif tries to itune it ... BOOM ACID BATH.
# 24 Re: Its Gone
nono, it should send an alert, giving the user's IP address then you can trackem down and KILL em!

I would rather give someone an acid bath than kill them.

# 27 Re: Its Gone
ok... admit at least that it was an interesting concept of being able to track an iPod by it's serial, just as you would a stolen cellphone. Maybe not possible to implement in reality but a neat concept.

No it would be easy to implement. Just like they do credit cards. When it reported stolen the number is flagged. When that number is used it comes back as stolen. now whether it would call the police or not is debateable but it would at least not allow them to use it.
# 29 Re: Its Gone
well, the thing ppl would complain about is the fact that their iPod software was constantly connecting to a server and sending info from the user's PC, to see if the iPod had been reported stolen.

It has to connect sometimes anyway. They could just wait til then couldn't they.
# 31 Re: Its Gone
Sorry to hear about you ipod. I keep mine in my pants all day and when i take em off to get changed i put it in a locker.

uhh... ok. bit of a difference though, IMO, between connecting to ther internet to check for an update, versus sending your iPod's serial # / owner name to the server for verification.
I'm not even saying I'd have a problem with that. Maybe I should and some people definately will.

# 34 Re: Its Gone

From your post above, it's pretty obvious that you need to spend more time learning and studying, and less time worrying about the frivolous crap you bring to school.

Maybe because Apple is a technology company and not a law enforcement agency? It's not their responsibility to enforce the law or punish people that break it.

Look who's talking. It took you what, almost a month to respond to MY post? Moron.
# 39 Re: Its Gone
yeah not that great of a friend dude.
anyways, thats when you get a small lock for your backpack, and put it on the handles to whichever pocket your ipod is in. if your keep your ipod in the same pocket as all your other stuff, only put it in when you leave your backpack somewhere but if you keep it in a seperate pocket (like me), keep the lock on all the time.
either that, keep it in your pocket, or dont take it to school

The_commanche: my point exactly, thank you. I didn't really care how long it took for him to respond; just wanted to hold him to his own standard.

Thank you very much. Sometimes it takes me 1 1/2 hours to get home. Damn public trasport, takes that long to do 12 miles. Granted, i have a half hour "layover" on the way at the shopping centre, but still, i like to listen to it when i'm stood there in the cold and rain.
# 44 Re: Its Gone
I know people who steal ####... It happens. It's not like you can make em' stop. But I know a ton of people and generally pretty much don't mess with me...

Just dont bring that stuff to school. I brougt my month old 30 gig 5G to school cause we can listen to it in 2nd hour. Kept it in my pants all day. I even have my own lock on my locker, but somebody f***** stole it while i was at bball. So i guess they broke into the locker?!?!
Just dont bring it

On topic:
I have one more semester in college and if I decide to bring my iPod with me, I'll either have it in my pocket or in my backpack. Since I never leave any rooms without my backpack, I think it will be pretty safe. The reason I never leave my backpack alone is because I have a MobilePro 900c which I type up notes on while in class. MP900's are $900 new, $500 on Ebay...so yeah, I don't let it out of my sight. lol
