My N800 was stolen yesterday. By, incredibly enough, a fellow employee or a cleaning crew member. I'm not happy.

if its any consolation, a co-workers wife left her purse in an unlocked locker at the gym, and he was wifed (wiped) out (pun intended). all but one of the credit cards and all savings & checking accounts cleaned out.

Do you have any info we should watch for, if they try to sell it on ebay?

Each n800 (and 770) has several unique IDs (MAC address, etc.), so if you kept your box you can at least verify your ownership if someone else suddenly shows up with a n800. It's too bad nobody has written a "phone-home" applet that automatically sends email to you containing the IP it's connecting from if it's not in a specified list or something along those lines.

Yup, I had my 770 swiped while at an airport. Not sure when it happen but it was a heart breaker. I kept checking on ebay checking any items that were sold from the city I lost it in, but nothing popped up. My guess is a local pawn shop got it!

I miss a feature to prompt for the PIN code on evey boot, and NOT for the screen lock.

But there is a happy ending. I had left the N800 in my coat pocket Thursday, and when I found the pocket empty on Friday morning I assumed it had been removed at work the day before. Turns out my 6 year old nephew got it out and lost it in the coach cushions Friday before I left for work. The little turd.
