On Sept. 25, 2011, I was returning from a trip to NC with my college marching band. When I got back to my dorm room, the door was open...my wii ,smg 2 and gcn controllers was stolen. My door is ALWAYS locked when i leave. Apparentlly, the master key to all the rooms was stolen. there was a ring of several other thefts..


A few weeks ago, I got a new Wii and nintendo transfered my wii shop account over. I wanna bring my new wii to college with me bcuz i get bored sometimes without a game system. I fear if i do it may get stolen again...So should I bring it to college and if so how can i prevent it from being stolen agian?

Kensington locks, and see if you can get a little safe for when you leave for a while.

Most places that sell either laptops or desktops will sell you the locking system itself, which is basically some heavy ass gauge hardened steel wire, and normally some adhesive plates that you can loop it through. One on the desk, one on the back of whatever you want to bolt down.

Ain't going to look pretty, but it'll stop anyone short of people with hardened bolt cutters. K-Lock wires are an utter bastard to cut through.

That, and a small safe is pretty much needed if you're staying anywhere public. Doesn't need to be much, but again, it's more about the deterrent than anything else. Or, you can really fuck with them, and have nothing in the safe, so even if they do steal the whole thing, they get nothing.

Did your college reimburse you for the stuff that was stolen? I wouldn't bring anything else there if they didn't.

Nope....they make u sign a housing contract that has a section saying they wont reimburse because they're not liable for our stuff if something like this happens.

Home insurance sometimes covers items away from the home in holiday homes/dorms/etc. Might be worth asking the folks about it.

Also, when I saw this title and the author, I was expecting drums and a challenge.

I am disappoint.

I saw the kensington lock you mentioned and I'll get one. A safe isnt needed tho bcuz if i do unplug the wii...i can just hide it in the suitcase under my bed where most theifs wouldnt bother to look...that's good right?

Take it or they win... something like that anyway.

I know it suck and cash it tight, but you bought it to be played and relieve the tension, if you arent using it for that it was a waste of time buying a new one anyway.
