Thanks Norton for the updates!
Due to a crazy series of events, I am posting this on my very own LappyTop!!
Turns out the perps didn't want to talk to me. I can hardly blame them. They knew who my roommate was and approached him at the Bus stop out front. They wanted money from him, he said no. So, word went out, by me mentioning to a few key people, and a few within earshot, that the Police would have a report tomorrow.
Then roomy was approached by another guy, today,said to meet with someone at the Mall of America. He goes there, spends a few minutes waiting around and was approached by another guy, asking for money. He said no, where's the computer? Dude said he'd have to go to Burnsville Mall to get it.
He buses out there, see's a group watching him and one followed him to the food court. he wanted $50 for the computer. Roomy says he'll drop the report for $25. If he wants $50, the report stays and the cops will follow. Dude took the $25.
About a half an hour ago he walks up to me, outside, with my computer in a plastic bag. Silly dumb asses couldn't get past my password.
So, Captain
@Norton , I'm back!
BTW, Great Job Team!!
I will be in Winona, MN on Thursday night. I have no idea if the Motel I'll be in will have WiFi or, if my Hotspot will work down there (Clear Wireless was bought out by Sprint Mobile, so the map of coverage is gone and I don't know for sure.) I expect that it will only be a temporary setback, if at all. I will let you know, by phone, if there is any hitches in the plan.
I am finally getting my Holiday!! Wed. I pack up and Thursday morning I am getting on my bike and riding down to Winona. 114 miles, door to door. With a few rest stops, and lunch, I think it should take around 12 hours to get there. If all goes by plan, I should be in my room by 8-8:30pm Thursday night . I will then head back to town, here, Tuesday and then, back to work that Thursday, the 7th, a week later.
So, yea, I am a little bit excited x2!! Got my sweet ass computer back AND I am headed out to sweet-ass Winona, in a couple days! Life is good!
I just dumped the work I had, most of it past due, and reloaded my Queue. It took six days but, I got it back. And, I didn't even have to bust any heads!
Damn I'm good!
Good night Team TPU, got a long day tomorrow! See you all after work!
