Wanted: Magnanakaw ng Laptop

Caught in the act of thinking how to lift the laptop just in front of where he was sitting. The office's laptop. An iBook G4.

We were volunteers in an event, you see, and lot's of guys were sewing dolls with kids and kids at heart, sitting on beanie bags. So this guy came in, sat on one of the beanie bags for some time, not once touched a thread, and just waited for the people to stop noticing him. Good thing we have a witness. Someone actually saw him take the bag with the laptop inside and leave with it. Too bad she didn't know he wasn't part of the volunteers. The damned guy just did a good job blending in.

I wasn't there when the laptop was stolen. I entrusted it in the care of someone else. Note to self: never ever leave anything valuable in another's hands.

Attached is the police report. Not that you'll understand the events, what with the kind of english the policeman had, but you'll know that this is real and not just stupid spam material.

Another thing you should know, The Podium doesn't have a security camera, at least they had none when the laptop was stolen on Feb 20, 2008. I hope they install some soon. Police dogs, no matter how well trained, just can't sniff out criminal intent.

Akalain mo, si Mavic gumugulong!

Tama, tama ang basa mo kaibigan. Kagabi lang pagulong-gulong ako sa Macea at sa kung saan mang park yon na malapit sa condo ni Bennet. Salcedo park pala yun.
Napakasaya pala magLONGBOARD! Sa kung sino man sa inyo ang nakabasa sa isa sa mga una kong blog entry dito kung saan nagdadrama ako dahil sa hindi nga ako mapagkakatiwalaan sa kahit anong may gulong, pwes ngayon nadiscubre ko na may pagasa pala ako sa paglolongboard! Arrrrrh!
Salamat kay Fabo at Joey sa pagpapahiram ng boards nila. At kay Dante, Kat, Lao, at sa pinsan ni Fabo. Sila ang mga ka-jam namin sa skate.
Alas diez na ata noon, katatapos lang ng isang araw ng paghahanda para sa pitch, at maglolongboard na sina Joey at Fabo. Sa hindi ko malamang kadahilanan, niyaya nila ako. Eh dahil mga Diyossing ko sila, at medyo naintriga naman ako sa longboard nga na yan, jumoin ako. Siguro mga 5 mins akong tinuruan ni Fabo magpush-off, tapos medyo bumabalanse na ako, aba by my second hour, nakakaliko na ako! Fantabulous talaga. Pero nung nasa Salcedo Park na kami, medyo steeper yung slope kaya nung paliko na ako, hindi ko natantsa yung speed at distance, kaya ayun, sumemplang. Pero ang una kong hinabol, ang board! Haha. Walang pagpagpag sa katawan o check kung bakit mahapdi ang paa ko.
Napakasaya talaga niya. Winner.
Puro Ladera ang boards nila, Bomber, Purple Heart, Respect, at yung iba hindi ko na alam. Magseskate kami ulit later. :D Wala lang. And saya.
