[QUOTE="Gauntlet, post: 219035, member: 545529"] Sorry man, it's happened to me before, and it fuc*ing sucks. Since you don't have insurance, all hope lies on the police. These are some steps you can take: Was it stolen at a parking lot on campus or of a business of some sort? If so, contact the necessary people to see if there is a camera monitoring the lot. If it was a public parking lot, you're probably shit out of luck. But if it's a business or establishment of some form, and they dont have cameras or parking lot security, you could file a complaint or possibly sue for negligence or something, a lawyer would be able to give you better advice in that area. If you have the serial numbers, you could give them to local pawn shops or other shops that will give refunds without receipts. Also, check the classifieds and garage sales and whatnot. You could also email eBay and describe what happened, and they can inform you if any items similar to yours are placed up for auction. You probably won't have any luck in that area, but it's worth a shot. Also, talk to the other people whose cars got robbed, and see what was stolen and talk to the police with them.
