Some thieving scum broke in to my house last night & helped themselves to my PS3 & Xbox, as well as all my AV gear, TV, iPad etc. I had credit card details on both the consoles, and I would prefer not to cancel the cards if I can help it, but I will if I have to. Does anyone know if I am at risk, and what I should do to prevent getting burned further? Thanks.
XBox & PS3 stolen - now what?

Registered 9 years agoReally sorry to hear that. We got burgled 8/9 years ago and awoke with 3 of the cunts still in the house (no kids then thankfully)
Hope you and yours are ok, which is the main thing of course.

Registered 3 years agoHave you got a credit card attached to your X360 profile? Cancel that if so.
Maybe worth emailing MS to get your account frozen or something if you have some MS points floating around that you don't want to lose?

Definitely call your bank and cancel your cards though, that's priority #1. -

Registered 2 years agoThat sucks mate.some real horrible low life fuckers about who need both arms removed.
Cancel your card asap!
There are quite a few stories of the scum getting caught when they've plugged items in and been tracked by their IP address or something.
And I vaguely remember apple helping someone track down their stolen gear.
Good luck dudeArsechickens

Registered 4 years agoYeah, cancel those cards, the peace of mind is worth more than the 20 minutes it'll take to get new cards on the way.
I'd sit down and make a list of any accounts that you have permanently open on any of those devices- did you leave your email permanently signed in on the iPad etc? Internet browser logged into online stores with your credit card details saved? Netflix on the PS3? Change the password on them too, this morning if possible, just in case.
It's a hassle but better a day spent filling in forms, getting a crime no. from the police (and going very carefully over your insurance documents to compile a list of what you can claim for) than worrying about it later.
I hope you and your family aren't too shaken up, sorry to hear about it dude.

Registered 11 years agoDid you have Photo Stream activated on the iPad? A lot of these knuckle-dragging inbreds have been caught that way. -

Registered 5 years ago@Billy_Sastard It looks like they rammed the front gate open with something, and then crowbarred the security gate on my actual front door open. Then they managed to crack the garage door, so that they could pull a car or truck in to load my stuff into. Amazingly enough, they managed to pull this all off in the space of an hour or so, while I was out walking my dogs (!) I'm pretty sure they must have been watching the place for a while, to know exactly when I am out with my dogs and for how long. -

Registered 5 years agoThanks for the info & the kind words. I did have the Find My iPhone app installed on the iPad, so hopefully they will connect to a network at some stage. Unfortunately it's not a 3G model, so it will only work if it is connected to a wi-fi network. I live in hope. -

Did you have find my iphone installed on your iPad so you can track it?
EDIT: You did, don't lock and wipe it until you have a position, otherwise you'll never find it.
