Did u see urself bring the mbp to the toilet from recorded CCTV?

the cctv never show anyone came out with your notebook?

lesson learn

Prey is a lightweight application that will help you track and find your laptop if it ever gets stolen. It works in all operating systems and not only is it Open Source but also completely free.

i dun think it can be stuffed into a bag.. cuz its 17".. no normal female bag can fit it in.. thats why i suspect its macdonalds

1. Any employees going in/out during that period?
2. Any out of the ordinary thing happened to you on that day before the event?

Reason for question 2 is, there had been many cases, people are just "persuaded" to give away their valuables without even knowing it themselves. At the same time victims' attention are usually diverted, and the next thing they know, something's missing. They prey on innocent people, usually at restaurants, tourist spots etc. They work very much like a syndicate.

possible is the workers there if that MCD have not much customers. try to ask them , maybe they will be panic. LOL. good luck

peeps i got back my mac!!
mcd called me just now.. went to get it.. was untouched cuz they din take the power plug.. n i think it ran out of battery cuz was 'sleeping' too long..
i cannot get into details on what happened due to a promise i made but its all thanks to the restaurant manager of McDonalds Bangsar Telawi.
Anyway.. bout the child.. (it was a 15 year old child) who got lost.. he was always at Mcd every night.. with lots of storybooks.. for 3 days straight.. parents looking for him n such.. but he did not come back.. so that's still an open investigation..

So to help people who lose their Mac in the future :
1. Get help in the location that you lost it.
2. Report to AppleCare and Police station(bear the sufferings)
3. Block possible trading online by blasting your loss all over the net.
4. Monitor your online accounts for messaging and emails. If you notice that someone is using your accounts, get the IP address.
5. Suggested softwares to be installed in your laptop PRIOR to losing it : any of the suggested anti-theft software mentioned in the thread, MobileMe
6. If you have MobileMe, you can control your missing Mac from another Mac and pull information on what is happening, once you get any personal info bout the thief..the mac is yours!
7. If you do get back your Mac, don't lose it again.

Thanks for the support and help...
As a note of appreciation, McDonalds's staff is efficient (bangsar telawi branch).. Apple hotline too. You guys.. peeps in my twitter(itsablushberry) and my facebook as well.
No thanks to the police/investigators at the police station. For more info, the nice lady at McD told me that the police will not take action once the report is lodged until u kecoh about it after that. Then only they will take action. ~just in case your stuff got lost and you want some action taken.

cheers
