Stolen computer :(

December 24, 2010, 11:21:38 PM

This last Monday morning, my semi-truck was broken into while I was eating breakfast and several things were stolen out of it. One of which was my laptop. I had my login on automatic for this and several of my other car websites. Bonehead move I know. I apologize for any activities that might have occured from Monday till tonight. This is the first chance I got to get on here to tell you all about it as I just got home.
Again, I'm sorry I let this happen.

, man, I hope nothing too sensitive was on that laptop. I'd definitely invest in identity theft policy at this point. My checking account number was exposed & I did, just to be on the safe side (on top of blocking any credits to the account).

Griffith, IN? I'd assume (I know, I know) you drive for Schneider, Reohl, or Bulkmatic. Tell me if I'm close

Thankfully I had followed my wife's directions and didn't keep any sensitive numbers or passwords on it. Just for my car sites. I have gone through and changed all the passwords.
Nope, not close....... :D ..... I drive for Jones Motor. I was in Dallas at the Flying hook (J) when it happened. Now too see if my insurance will cover what I lost.

When I drove for that big orange freight hauling company, I would park at the Operating Center then walk over to that Flying Gay, if I wanted to eat there, or anything.

You home owners insurance should cover what was stolen, check your policy. I do know that there are insurance policies out there that cover company driver belongings in company trucks. My team partner, at SNI, had it & it was inexpensive while it covered all of his personal belongings in the truck (everything from CB to Sirius to Lap top). The only issue may be if you change trucks often, then you'd have to update the insurance company as to the truck number.
