Price Drop - R23 000 for the laptop & R4 000 for the peripherals.
 
Bump - laptop was stolen, if anyone happens to find a unit, I have the Serial Number of my unit and if you want, you can check with me if someone is trying to sell you one. If somebody hears of one with my specs being sold, please message me.

So sorry to hear that......Hope you recover it somehow
 
I would contact acer and let them flag it with immediate effect open a case of theft and get an OB number !
 
Thanks everyone but believe it is long gone. It was my mistake, turned around for 5 seconds when the guy said he wants me to count the cash in his car, when I turned around from looking out of the boot of my car, he took the laptop (which was neatly packaged in the box) and he jumped into his car and sped off. I couldn't get into my car to start fast enough and he got away. All my fault.

I have sent Acer SA Support an email and have asked them to flag it and will wait for their reply and I have tried Microsoft's find my device but it says "unable to find device" - will try again later.

He goes by "Pierre" but believe it is an alias and drives a beat-up light green/light gold 2005/2006-ish looking Daihatsu Sirion, if somebody intends to buy a laptop like mine and maybe bump into the guy.

Yoh that sucks. Didn't catch the number plate did you?

Whenever I do a face to face I always try get a photo of the persons car/number plate
 
I didn't check and I normally do check the registration number. I'm going to Mall@Reds tomorrow to see if I can get some sort of footage, even if it's only a face photo. I do believe he's done this sort of thing before and maybe used fake plates, but none the less, will try to catch him but have made peace with the fact that I've lost it. I also made a plan to put it onto my insurance this week and never got around to doing so... I'm quite frankly screwed.

@PeePeePooPoo, well he's got dark brown or black hair, not sure if he's balding, though lol. And definitely Ugly AF. Looks dirty, might've been the freckles but the car looks as shite as he does, that's for sure. Car might've had some accident dents and rust on the doors and bodywork. Will check tomorrow and maybe see if I can add a picture of him or the car.
 
@Jeaan.Louis - both myself and @PeePeePooPoo had a run in with the same person in our two cases - guy had a similar MO to yours.

With carb being a public place that anyone can access and view, would you mind PM'ing me all the details of what you can/recall about the guy and his car, as well as where the deal took place.

If this is the same guy I can share relevant details with you, as well as put you in touch with the investigating officer who is looking for the guy that I had a run in with.

Ultimately, the MO sounds the same, but lets compare notes privately first.

I REPEAT:
DO NOT put the guys details publicly on carb for the time being please
 
Quick update:
@Jeaan.Louis will try to get the the vehicle reg and CCTV footage tomorrow. Had a short call with him and the MO sounds the same. Will confirm tomorrow and take it from there

Damn! That's hectic. The guts some people have. Hope you guys catch this guy.
This is definitely an eye opener for F2F deals.
 
I always lure unsuspecting Carbies to my house...
They never see it coming.

Jokes aside, sorry to hear about your bad luck.

Feel free to pm me if you guys want to work together so that we can catch this low life. I can go to some serious lengths to get this guy and that it won’t be a pleasant one. @Jeaan.Louis , if you get any more information kindly send to @JanvN and I’ll be in contact with him

He had to have done it more than once before. You won't go that big if it's your first time doing it. That they can steal from someone and knowing you're giving them such a huge setback, I'll never understand. How TF do you live with yourself.
