Our two computers have been stolen in our house yesterday night (together with 3 cameras, an USB backup hard-drive and two bags).
The two computers are an Apple MacBook Pro 17" and a black MacBook. They both come with French (AZERTY) keyboards (and the MBP has a broken corner on the left).
We filed a report to the police, gave our landowner all the necessary details about the stolen stuff.
We do not have much hope in getting them back. However, if someone, by chance, happens to see one of them in a second-hand shop, or on a classified ad, it would be of invaluable help for us, since both the laptops AND the backup disk have been stolen, which means that we do not have any data left...
Are there "reknown" places in Hanoi where this stuff can be sold ? (Apple computer are not so common).
Thanks in advance
Alexis

Sorry to hear that. It's really not cool when this happen to you. And losing data is definitely the biggest issue here. you are right mac are so not common here in Vietnam. I would ask a Vietnamese friend or staff to help you (unless you speak enough Vietnamese) and browse Vietnamese site selling 2nd hand stuff. unfortunately i can't recall the site but i have seen a couple by chance once. There is also a market somewhere in Hanoi where you can often find stolen items. Again i am sorry but i don't know the name and location but heard about it. good luck

Ouch. very sorry to hear that Alexis. It's never happened to me, but that possibility is one reason I keep my most important files backed up over the internet using subversion. Not what you want to hear, I'm sure, but anyway good luck in retrieving your data.

Man, too bad. I'm planning on moving to Hanoi soon. I will have a laptop and concerned about losing it and all the data. Is theft and breaking in a common occurance ? How does one secure your possessions whether you are renting or staying in a hotel ? You can't take everything with you all the time!
