If the parking is restricted to a certin demographic (paying clientele) then the parking owner is liable because you have a certain expectation of safety you are paying for.
I was a security guard for loomis Fargo and worked severl months in the parking lot of a hotel back in'98 in my first years on college that's how I know this.

Ah. Someone said if you had to pay to park they were responsible, so I mentioned knowing of fees before. It makes sense that if something happens to your property while being on someone else's property while using their services, they should be responsible for it.

Ya know..if the nation in general tell the thieves that if they ever get caught, they will have one of their hands chopped off..would be a nice incentive to NOT try your luck..but, we live in the real world and are too civilized (note the sarcasm)..that really sucks man!!
Only suggestion, is for you to get one of those portable hand-rail carts..ya know? The one you see those flight stewardess use when they are packing 2 or 3 bags of stuff..might save you only one trip if your company is unwilling to put you in a more secure environment..Hope those bastard gets what is coming to them..
Guns wouldn't do you any good in this situation unless you were ambushing them..assuming Texas has the Castle's law in place?

Man, that sucks. My 7 got broken into at my old apartment, and it was sitting next to this BMW with all kinds of audio in it but they broke into my car. Sorry someone did that to you and your car man.

Lousy stretch for you - sorry toxin. Obviously moving would help, but in the meantime maybe a car cover? Sounds like even that would have done you no good this time, though. Better luck to you. You sure your dealership didn't sell you a repainted silver?

Make sure your car is clean inside and that means everything.
I have known of several people breaking into a vehicle because they saw some loose change. If they have loose change there may be something else to steal.
If you don't believe me ask the police.
Windows even get broken even to steal a coat.

I would find somewhere with secure parking - TODAY. Pay with your own dime if you must, then insist on reimbursement and relocation, including secure parking. If they refuse, think hard about finding something else as it would mean they care not for your safety or property.

Lesson learned: don't leave valuables unattended in your car, and if you must, then at least conceal them under the seat, in the glove box, etc.

Some guy kept breaking into my friend's car at night. He stole two good head units, ripped apart the dash, and stole some of his cd's. This was over the course of two months, where I told my friend to get an alarm system. Well, I lent my brand new sony camera to this friend, and he happened to leave it in his car (glove compartment) to bring it back to me the next day, and it got stolen. Needless to say, I got involved.
The very next night we camped out in my car across the parking lot from his and drank beers. We put another head unit in his car. Low and behold the thief comes by in his shitty *** toyota pickup with his buddy. We jumped out and beat the **** out of them (fortunately they weren't armed), and called the police. At the end of the day, the police were able to locate one of his stolen head units (installed in the thief's truck), and my camera (given to the theif's gf.. how nice of him).
While I don't usually condone violence, I must admit revenge was sweet. Oh, and I finally got my friend to move out of that neighborhood. I'm sorry for your loss man. You shouldn't think this is over. Usually these guys will come back for more, and you just have to be ready next time.

all my work data was on it i have backups but only as recent as 3 weeks ago here on my desktop. (some stuff i can retrieve via Gmail's sent folder)
if they KNEW what they got on that laptop they would be in disbelief - i make maps for this oil and gas outfit and use a program called ArcGIS (very very expensive) and the actual data sets can cost upwards of $50,000 just for ONE county map.... so yeah

Usually people who wants more security outa XP would use group policy, which is the lusrmgr.msc and set the stuff there.
dont do it if you dont know what you're doing tho, I've seen dumbasses locked themself out and force them to reinstall windows
but my method is not about that, is about going to the root ..... nevermind
I SWEAR NO MORE thread hi-jack !

Crooks have horrible crappy home, and drive crappy cars. Their girlfriends are almost always the ugliest beats you'll ever see, and if they aren't their cheating on the crook.
They have crappy skin, and wear dirty old clothes.
They will amount to nothing in life, and most will end up getting murdered over a sewer grate before they hit the age of 30.
They get whats coming to them every day when they wake up and realize who they are and the life they live.

Buy a Macintosh and use the built-in FileVault protection. Encrypts of all your files on the fly with minimal intrusion. If they take your drive and plug it into a port in another computer, your files are still protected.
Plus Macs work better.

That crap is even worst, you can say everything is hackable but trust me, its easier than you can imagine. AES-128 bit .... I almost past out when I saw that.
I just dont get it, why most MAC users got this false sense of security in their mind. Mac OS is easier to break than Windows/Linux.
Ok I'll stop, leave these stuff to somewhere else.
