[UPDATE] deck got stolen

Hi guys!

About a month ago my deck got stolen.

I got a lot of good advice from a lot of members.

I did not report te deck as stolen to the police or valve in the hope of potentially recover it. I did however delete my creditcard etc from my account.

My deck was a dual-boot with windows 11 and steam os. Both with a password after boot and with my real name as username/profile.

About a week ago I got a message from a stranger on Facebook messenger about the login codes. He wanted to do a factory reset and he wanted help to get windows deleted.

I told him I could only help him in person, at my place.

So today, about 2 hours ago he came by.

I talked with him and explained wat happend and he also told me how he got the deck.

Long story short, I got it back from him. I also told him that I have pictures from the camera in the driveway of the guy who stole it and his name. Also told him that valve could completely lock it if I report it.

He was bummed out and pissed, so I gave him 100€ as a reward and told him it is up to him to either get his money back from the thief who sold it to him or report it to the police himself.

I'm so happy! Its like a miracle, didn't expected this at all!

Normally I don't even check Facebook (messenger) 😅
