This happened last night at 1:09am in downtown Seattle, WA at the corner of Bell St. and Elliott Ave.

I know no one here will probably be able to help, but I am seriously hoping that you guys can help spread this around so maybe this time I can get my important things back. I'm seriously offering a reward as mentioned on the youtube video for the return of my stuff (even without the laptop) or for identifying the two pieces of garbage that stole it all. $500 each.

Please help me out tdub.

They took a black DC backpack that had the following contents:

Microsoft Arc mouse (they didnt get the iPhone thank god)


Custom etched Moleskine notebook


Lenovo x61t Laptop


Muji notebook bag


Everything and the DC backpack itself:

I'll be on the next flight to Seattle.

5/8/2010 2:45:01 PM

how'd you get that video?

5/8/2010 2:45:58 PM

first lesson they teach in DUH 101:

don't leave shit you don't want stolen in your car

however I doubt this is real due to how you just so happen to have pictures of everything that was stolen. who the fuck just takes pictures of their shit

5/8/2010 2:47:39 PM

those are Mike and Tilda Wendelbaum, fairly well-known local transients in that area

one of the local homeless shelters will be able to point you to where they are staying, guaranteed

5/8/2010 2:48:54 PM

am i the only one who finds it weird that you have pictures of all your stuff?

that said, good luck finding the jerks.

5/8/2010 2:48:56 PM

Why do you have all those pictures of your shit?

5/8/2010 2:48:56 PM

^x4 You're right, it's a HORRIBLE idea to take pictures of your belongings for insurance purposes (homeowners or for car insurance). Yup. It's not recommended at all. In fact, I think it's illegal.

Whats with all the pictures and junk y0

5/8/2010 2:50:23 PM

was the door unlocked?

5/8/2010 2:50:45 PM

I was in a research study last fall and was asked to take pictures of everything I use for work on a daily basis. So while I was waiting on a flight, I snapped pictures of it. Never thought any of it would ever be useful.

And I have the video because it came from my security system. This happened right in front of my damn apartment last night.

^No, he ripped through the taped up small back window that was broken out a month ago. My car has been broken into 3 times in the past month. I never keep ANYTHING of value in it.

I left my backpack in the car for less than 5 hours. Not even overnight. They stole it while I was down the street at the Lupe Fiasco concert. I got back like 15 minutes after they stole it.

yes I'm sure many people just so happen to take pictures of all their belongings for insurance purposes in what appears to be an airport. Just in case everything but their camera gets ganked.

ok fine

but if you took them a year ago and your computer was stolen...

i still smell fake

5/8/2010 2:52:36 PM

oh snap

5/8/2010 2:53:08 PM

you were asking for this to happen. i would never leave my taped up window car anywhere like that...

hope they find who did this, but 5 hrs is a long time during the night...

5/8/2010 2:56:05 PM

5/8/2010 2:56:27 PM

sounds like you fucked up

5/8/2010 2:56:45 PM

do you not have a car alarm?

5/8/2010 2:58:20 PM

^^^^you do know, it is legal to own more than one computer, to have multiple HDDs, and to back up your files on these HDDs and through online services.

[Edited on May 8, 2010 at 2:59 PM. Reason : ^^]

5/8/2010 2:58:51 PM

So your car had broken in 2 times before, still had one of the windows taped and you left valuables in it? You are a dumbass.

Give me any odds of what you think Noens stuff existing is.

Let's do something large.

Let's do something like....

"There's a 1 out of 1x10^10 chance."

That means there's a one in ten billion chance of aliens existing.

Is that not rare enough for you? Okay. Let's do 1 out of 1x10^15. That's a one in one quadrillion chance.

Based on observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, there are at least 125 billion galaxies in the universe.

It is estimated that at least ten percent of all sun-like stars have a system of planets, there are 6.25×10^18 stars with planets orbiting them in the universe.

If even a billionth of these stars have planets supporting life, there are some 6.25×10^9 (billion) life-supporting planetary systems in the universe.

6,250,000,000.

Now, what are the odds that NONE of these have any life on them?

Look you worthless shithead. I wasnt asking for anything to happen. No one ASKS for people to STEAL YOUR SHIT. I FUCKING LIVE HERE, where the hell else am I supposed to leave my car?

I realize this is chit chat, but I thought maybe this goddamn website might have a sliver of humanity left in it. Why the hell would I waste my time faking any of this? I've put this all over the place in the slim hope that maybe I might see my notebooks again.

Why don't you guys think about how shitty I already feel for being stupid and forgetting to take my bag out of my car ONCE in three years, for a few hours. Seriously.

5/8/2010 3:00:44 PM

to me it sound like you mad to me


hold on. let me assemble the TWW ACTION TEAM and well just fly over to seattle and help you out.

[Edited on May 8, 2010 at 3:02 PM. Reason : f]

5/8/2010 3:01:21 PM

taped up window

might as well have just left your car unlocked

5/8/2010 3:02:23 PM

IM AN ORNERY COCKBAG TO USERS THAT GETS UPSET WHEN USERS ARE ORNERY COCKBAGS TO ME

5/8/2010 3:02:55 PM

^^^&^^^^^LOL

and why'd you have to call him a worthless shithead? He said he hopes they find the people who stole your stuff.

5/8/2010 3:03:04 PM

That sucks man. I tweeted it to help spread the word

5/8/2010 3:05:11 PM

5/8/2010 3:05:33 PM

well, i googled "seattle, robbery, white guy, baseball cap, justin timberlake" and got a ton of results.

help me narrow this down so i can help out.

5/8/2010 3:07:53 PM

if i were you i'd just be thankful that you werent hurt

oh yeah and thankful that they didnt steal this kickass mask

5/8/2010 3:08:32 PM

Sony Cybershot DSC-T100. Red. It was also in the backpack and is now gone with the rest of the stuff.

I don't even really care about the electronics. I REALLY care about the notebooks. They are invaluable to me and have years of work in them.

If you can just repost, email, whatever you can to spread the word, that would really help out the most. I've got the cops coming out shortly to take a look at the video and file a report.

5/8/2010 3:10:58 PM

damn, that sucks man. Sorry to hear it.

My car was broken into twice when I lived in Va. Unfortunately, the police don't extend a very big effort for car burglaries. Good luck finding your stuff.



You might have already thought of this, but did you happen to have any Beacon software on that laptop?

5/8/2010 3:17:38 PM

honestly they probably threw away the moleskin... the rest of the shit they can sell, and probably have.

5/8/2010 3:23:25 PM

So you have taped window - and you don;t lock your shit in the trunk?

YDI.

5/8/2010 3:46:14 PM

i think we need to cut their hand off so they know not to steal and other people will know they are theifs.

or just shoot them on spot and say you thought they were going to kill you

5/8/2010 4:36:07 PM

In Noen's defense, if i were a robber i would pass on the car with the taped up window figuring nothing of value would be inside....

5/8/2010 4:42:20 PM

did the thieves know what your tested IQ was your senior year in highschool? I know you've had bumper stickers printed, PUT THEM TO GOOD USE

5/8/2010 4:57:16 PM

Douchebags ITT. Sorry man.

5/8/2010 5:32:18 PM

$125 on the laptop/case

5/8/2010 5:34:05 PM

Is that a Saturn?

5/8/2010 6:55:22 PM

noen, i walked from olympic sculpture park to showbox a couple weeks ago and i think i saw your building

i know this doesn't help you get your shit back

sorry dude

it sucks that your car was broken into and your stuff was stolen...the only thing worth stealing out of my car is probably my stereo and even that's not worth the effort...i NEVER leave anything of value in my car because i'm terrified someone WILL break in and take it

completely independent of the fact that you're a dick as often as not, you set yourself up for this to happen...you had a car that required minimal effort to break into (tape, really?) and then left valuable things in the car...are you surprised this happened? upset, perhaps, but surprised? really?

best of luck finding the douchebags that did it...i wouldn't wish this on you, and no one has the right to take your things (in a perfect world, locks would be completely unnecessary)...but perhaps you'll learn a valuable lesson

5/9/2010 11:34:17 AM

I would be mean, but I have no interest in some non-existent karma attacking me.

Good luck taking the fuckers down son.

(Shoulda kilt 'em wit dat Glock 26 btw.)

5/9/2010 11:35:55 AM

I really don't know why people make threads like this and expect sympathy.

1) Who the hell leaves a laptop bag in plain sight in their car. You have a trunk dude, use it.
2) Only a retard would do so with a taped up window
3) Hopefully you've learned a very valuable (although expensive) lesson that you should have learned at the age of 10.

5/9/2010 12:02:21 PM

white people stealing stuff... what's the world coming to?

I bet they're corporate spies that want to steal sensitive data from your laptops.

5/9/2010 12:22:12 PM

taped window - yet you still leave valuables in the back seat. You deserve it.

Also - maybe you should put that 500 bucks into replacing the window.
