    Angry Macbook? YEAH RIGHT!

    okay i wasn't going to write a thread on this but here goes and if its in the wrong sec. please move!

    here is my issue. i HAD some money saved up, well allot of money saved up and put aside to pay for a new mac laptop ($2,300 to be exact) i was supposed to buy it yesterday but didn't get the chance too. i come home this morning from my boyfriends house and BAM money is gone along with some off my other electronics. (thank God i took my laptop with me!) nobody in the house wants to speak up or say who was in my room. (which was locked!) i got pissed, broke down and started breaking everything! i cant call the cops because its not like they will come and even if they do, it will be a big waste of time and all i will get is the "you should think about moving to a better area" bullshit! there is no way in hell i can come up with all that money again without busting my ass like i already do. i have been saving for 2 months or so and the laptop i have now is giving up on me. i haven't told my boyfriend yet because his anger is just as bad as mines and that's bond money i do not have! and im not planing on telling him because he contribute allot for this also. he's expecting me to have a brand new laptop today and i don't even have a penny for it. i don't know for how long i can put this off without him getting suspicious and asking questions soo i started thinking of doing something i thought i could never see myself doing or even have the guts to do .. Escorting. I was thinking just for a few days or a week the most till i have enough and just telling him i put it on lay-a-way?? but im having second thoughts because i don't wanna do this to him nor do i wanna do it myself but it looks like my only choice now. i don't know if i will be able to look at my boyfriend in the face again if i do this, i keep telling myself it's for a good cause it will pay off but it's still cheating which im not a fan of. i really don't know wtf to do nor do i know how to start or where to start! i have been looking on backpage but im so nervous its a sting, a pimp or just bullshit! im walking on glass rocks here!! i need help, how would you guys handle this situation? where do i start? please don't tell me to tell my boyfriend because i already know where that's gonna go! should i feel guilty for doing this or even thinking it or should i think positive about this. i feel like im whoring myself out just for a laptop but i know it's so much more than that, that's the laptop i would be camming on and making double the money! i got new internet and webcam all i needed was a new laptop. idk maybe im over thinking this and making it harder than it seems. please someone guide me thru this ...

    If you feel THIS bad about escorting now, I don't imagine it will get any easier if you actually go through with it. If you see it as cheating on your boyfriend, and if you think he'll see it as cheating, then you shouldn't do it. Also, lying more to cover up lies is almost never a good way to go.

    Just my opinion, but you should file a police report. If your boyfriend contributed to the laptop, then I think he should have a say in how to handle it though. And maybe I'm stating the obvious, but if your boyfriend has a bad enough temper to land himself in jail... what are you doing with this guy?

    Wow. Sorry to hear this happened to you.

    I'm not sure what to say about the escorting thing, but in the future get a bank account or at least a prepaid card and keep it on you at all times, and find a new place to live either by yourself or with people you can trust.

    I think if it were me I'd go ahead and tell him what happened and let the chips fall where they may. If he is that violent let him and your thieving roommates deal with the consequences of what he does, no bond money needed.

    I also agree with the above poster. File a police report. I know what you mean about it being useless - i have friends who live in a bad area and yeah the police are not helpful, but at least get it on record what happened to you.

    You do not need a 2k laptop. You can buy a perfectly good one (a WindowsOS) for under $1,500. I got my i7, a Dell, at Best Buy for around $900 and it is a beast.

    You are turning to escorting out of desperation - you should not do anything in the adult industry for desperation or you will end up hating yourself. Yes escorting can bring in a lot of money, but if your head isn't in the right place you can screw yourself up. You already have serious hang-ups about it - shame, "whoring myself out for x and x". I wouldn't go this route at all. Escorting is not a last resort thing - and it is not your only option here.

    If it's the sex that's the hang-up - have you thought about stripping?

    You can also rent a laptop through Rent-A-Center. http://www6.rentacenter.com/rent-a-center-home

    I'd be honest with your boyfriend about this - especially since things were stolen out of his house ?! He should be aware of that. Especially if it might be family or roommates?

    You can go to the police and file a report for stolen items + money. I've never done anything like that so I'm not sure how they follow up with that...

    And browse Craigslist in your area for the things that are missing. Lots of people who steal try to flip whatever it is they stole, and Craigslist is commonly used.

    Sorry that happened OP - I hope you can get things sorted out.

    Never brag about the money you make.
    Never talk about the things are saving up to buy.
    Even if you had bought the new mac doesn't mean it would Not have been stolen too.

    Escorting is NOT a solution & you can get hurt. Backpage is NOT the best source of custies either. A friend of mine was using it, not screening cause she needed the money over her safety got robbed & orally raped at knife point.

    Work harder at camming so you can afford a better place of your own in a better neighborhood. Yes, it cost more money upfront, but in the long run not being robbed or worst is money saved. Not to mention your peace of mind.

    Scare the other renters by calling the cops. Let them know that kind of behavior will NOT be tolerated. Get better locks.

    Now for the mac.... it isn't worth the money. Not when a pc or regular laptops are half the price & do the exact same job. Most cam companies don't work well with MAC. Only 10% of computers sold are MACs, don't let the mac snobs convince you it is the ONLY way to go. They are all full of BS. Mac is not a superior product when you have to download or jump through hoops to get it to work with other brands software even to cam.

    An i7 cost anywhere between $750 to $1200 way more affordable & getting you to making money now rather than $2300 from now. These are JUST tools of the trade. It's value goes down soon as you buy it. It isn't like gold or a home & will increase in value over the years. Why spend more on it than necessary?

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    Never keep more than $2-300 cash in your place and get renters insurance. With renters insurance they'll pay you depreciated value for your stolen items and depending on the policy replace cash stolen up to a certain amount.

    Maybe you can get a refurbished Mac and put it on a credit card. Just pAy it off in 30 days so you don't carry a balAnce/avoid interest fees or pay off 70% in 30 days (and the remaining balance as soon as possible) so you keep your credit score high

    I'm amazed your the first person that mentioned renters insurance. Its something I never would have thought about during my college years but its super cheep and will save you this kind of heart ache. I also agree with the girls who say to file a police report, it wont do anything but you never know something may show up at a pawn shop. (I had a bike stole off my porch, there was a track in the grass leading to the back door of the house behind mine. The cops still did nothing. So yea they are useless)

    Tell the BF nothing good comes from keeping secrets from the people you are with.

    Good to know since I have renter's insurance and it is only $10 a month. I haven't had to use it as I haven't been robbed or any disasters so far. I wouldn't keep that much cash in the house especially if other people live there. Bank, prepaid card, box that looks like a book in your closet? Lol I don't know hit get a cheaper laptop and start camming. Still don't know why you'd get a Mac after having so much stolen.

    I hadn't thought about renter's insurance covering cash, but where I live, it's required for almost every apartment. I have a $20k policy. It's less than $200/yr. I do keep some cash, but it's secured and well-hidden. I also make sure that my electronics aren't visible in my windows when I'm not home.

    I agree with filing a police report, and getting renter's insurance. But also, if you are able to save up 2300.00 in 2 months AND pay all your expenses, you definitely need to be putting some of that money towards living in a more secure apartment. Break ins really stink. Sorry this happened.

    hello everyone, sorry took me forever to reply. i greatly appreciate all the opinions everyone had to say and i took it into consideration.
    i did not file police report because of the fact that i know they wont come or i'll be harassed and joked by the cops. i did end up telling
    my boyfriend and he didn't take it so well now i have to keep him away from my house. i don't live with roomates, its family which makes
    it even more f'ed up! i just moved back from LA so living here is my only option as of now till i get my condo out here again. i wasn't going
    to spend the whole 2k on just the laptop (sory for not making that clear). I was going to spend half on more camming equipment. (like the logitech bcc950 which i have been dying for!)
    i have been saving this money since i was in LA so it irkes me even more when i think about how i can save money in South Central where
    you always have to be on my tippy toes then when i come home to my "family" everything gets stolen! nothing was mentioned about me saving
    money because i would be dumb to even tell them because i already knew how they were and i hid it in different spots everytime i left my room
    but that time i didn't because i was tired and in a rush. I was in panic and i was about to do something later on that i would greatly regret that's why i am thankful
    for you guys for knocking the sense back into me. For now i am saving up again but im going to be putting everything on a Bluebird card my boyfriend
    got me from walmart. i'm not worried about the other stuff they stole they can keep it or pawn it, i dont care. hmmmm .. but my mom just got a new
    flat screen t.v but the other day she was complaining she was broke and how she don't have money for her lights ... i know for a fact it was either my
    brother or one of my cousins.. the people who i have always gave every penny i have when they ask for it, bond, court fees, child support fees, tickets,etc but it's
    okay because i know when im gone they gon miss and that 2k aint gonna last them forever. they know i can be the most cut throat
    bitch that will wacth them starve while i eat but i continue to show them that i don't always solve my issue by throwin hands but i damn sure will break every last thing they own.
    i just had my check stolen last year when i was in LA (got it back tho) and now this ... by my own family. sometimes i think i was better off in LA but then
    again i wouldn't be able to see my boyfriend and i probably would not make it to 25. sad but true. okay im rambling now but again thanks everyone
    i really appreciate it. so glad i posted this thread or i would be stuck doing crazy shit that would probably make my life worse.

    You can't chose your family, but you can chose your friends.

    Sorry, but I've seen families like that. My bestie has had to separate from her's permanently now that she has a kid. Cause they would beg, borrow or steal the very food out of her kid's mouth.

    My heart goes out to you.
    Best of luck,
    Sam

    I really don't understand why you won't file a police report? Obviously it's your choice, and if there's something you'd rather the cops not find that's understandable. But from what I understand it doesn't take that long, why assume that they won't do anything?

    It seems likely that your family knew you wouldn't report it and that's why they stole from you. If you file a report it might at least discourage them from doing it again.
