Hello EDKV Family.
Simply here to inform you.
My everything: Laptop, Phone, Hard-drive, Cards and entire bag was stolen.
It was stolen while I was appearing for a midterm.
We were asked to put everything into our bags to avoid cheating.
Those bags were kept on the inside of the classroom door.
Somehow someone got access to that and stole my bag.
Couldn't take action till my midterm was over (2 hrs) and it was too late to catch them.
Blocked the cards immediately and went to the police to report the loss.
Had no means to communicate except for university computers which were in the library that I could not enter without my college id which was also stolen with the bag. I got a new one today. Just came back from the police station who said that as an International Student, I cannot file an official case and its unlikely to get my stuff back. I dont have any money at all, so I am living with my friend now for some days. And basically my family refused to get me new items (they cannot transfer such a huge amount) so my communication will be limited now. Will not be able to watch the show till July or so and hope that someone can keep me updated on the same. Also, I wont be able to see PMs as they are blocked from these computers, so please post the link if you want me to see something in this post if you could. That is my only request to you guys. Take care. God Bless.
Thanks,
Tannu

Oh no! That sucks, I hope you are able to find your stuff.

And I am not sure how things work where you go, but do you guys have campus police or CCTV cameras? Campus police is usually really helpful with stuff like this. And I would check the lost and found, maybe someone picked up your bag by mistake because they had a similar one? Also, if there are any student groups or somewhere you could post a message to appeal to the person who took your stuff to give it back, it may work. I was part of Student Union at my university, and a lot of times people would get there stuff stolen and would post up a message on our boards telling the person to return their stuff and explain how much the loss affected them and the stuff would show up a few days later!


I'll pray that things work out for you! Good luck! :)

Definitely post on the Student groups as astonm suggested. A lot of people here get their stuff back that way, if someone took it accidentally of course.

Registered complaint with the campus police.
No CCTV cameras in the classrooms for privacy sake.
Checked all the options you mentioned.
I tried the student groups too.
Hope that turns out okay and stuff is found.
But I dont know what else to do.
And I cannot afford losing stuff like this.
