Can't have shit in the seattle metro ish type area. I'll update this comment if I learn anything new

1/27/2025: I have gotten in contact with the local police and they confirmed that the value of the goods that were stolen constitutes a felony charge. This is good because it prioritizes my case, and will also absolutely fuck over whoever did this when they get caught. The storage unit manager was able to find footage that isn't damning evidence that a particular individual stole my stuff, but the individual in the video was apparently showing suspicious enough behavior during the right timeframe, and the police have a way to track the individual down, so they're going to find them and ask some questions. That's good news, but it's too early say for sure which way this is gonna go. Every day they don't find them is another day they have the opportunity to flip the stuff. Nobody has been able to find anything pop up for sale online yet, so there's some hope. Damn just remembered my Virtual Boy was in there too...

1/24/2025: Break in would have occured some time between the 22nd and noonish on the 24th of January 2025, so if you're looking for listings on craigslist, facebook etc they would have to be posted on or after the 22nd

In hindsight the fact that the tops of those units are open-ish is kinda awful and it should have rang some alarm bells for me. First time renting a storage unit and it didn't even cross my mind. Going to have much higher standards for whatever unit I move to next.

I'm filing a police report tomorrow and we're gonna pop around to pawn shops and see if they've seen anything

The number I put on-screen for the PS5 was just the model/revision number. It's a fat PS5. I don't have the serial unfortunately but I have the MAC addresses, which is technically just as good. WiFi MAC: BC:33:29:6C:3C:0F LAN MAC: 5C:96:66:50:05:F6

They're gonna have a trip finding SteamOS on pretty much every device

[klof]

Half of that shit is instantly identifiable if put on ebay or marketplace

[raintailbro]

the robbers must be tripping out finding a old firewall server, ps5, broken apart xbox original, a barbie pc and almost all of them having some sort of linux on them

[Cyranek]

I was unphased until I learned that they stole the bionicles. Absolutely despicable human being

[ellowY]

My house was robbed in High School and those bastards took my childhood 3DS and DS. Lunch on me.

[MajorisMons]

You can have Sony deactivate the stolen PS5 once you report it. It wont be able to sign-in to PSN.

Casualties:
Ps5 with low firmware
Iboss pc
Steam VR knuckle prototype
Steam deck (just the box)
Wiis and re-released GameCube controller
Big ass Nvidia PC
Highschool diploma
Box with Bionicles

I hope this helps with the losses, even if just a little bit. Thanks for the great content, sorry for what happened!

[DammitJeff]

Dawg, I still have a launch low firmware PS5. Whenever that Linux firmware comes out, hmu, I’ll absolutely send it over for a video 🫶 super sorry this happened to you this suckssss

Im not trying to arouse undue suspicions but it is extremely hard to break into an indoor storage unit facility. Usually they have cctv on the inside (sometimes people cook that crystal inside of the units) and to get in without a keycard would be loud and would probably set off an alarm. So either it is an inside job by an employee, or someone renting another unit. Most rfid key card systems use unique identifiers for each individual card so it would be easy to overlap cctv with key card identifier timestamps (the system almost always logs the card used and time it was used, in addition to what terminal it was used at) and then since you have such a short time period for the robbery to have happened, you can manually search for people who did that. Ask the storage unit complex and if they dont comply, threaten a lawsuit and or calling the police to get it. Resolution to this shouldnt be too difficult but you might not get all of your stuff back

This donation is not much but your videos brings me so much joy during times of darkness in my life. Don't stop what your doing. Your amazing and you make my life just a little bit better. I hope this makes yours a little better too! Thank you!

[alannnosos]

I love your videos so much i hope the thief gets punished and you find most of the stuff .

I was robbed 2 years ago, lost my ps4, switch, sound system, and my childhood ps3 with me Minecraft worlds on it. I feel you bro. It’s not really about the value of the tech I was pissed about it was the memories that was taken away that made me pissed.

[DanielAyy]

Stealing a bunch of tech stuff is one thing, but a manhunt should be issued for the guy who stole the box of Bionicles.

[ethanpschwartz]

As you said: it's just stuff. The worst part is the feeling of violation.

[Dony]

Hope you get some of your stuff back. Nobody deserves to get robbed. Stuff might look like a price tag to them but to the owners its part of there lifes with the memories and experiences each item has. Things might look gloomy but believe me theres PLENTY of things to run Steam OS on.

[JesterJeb]

I'm so sorry that is horrible, you've done so much good with your content inspiring so many please dont lose you spark we love you

[TobiLikesGuys]

These thieves must be real confused about who owns this unit…

Why else would there be a Barbie PC near a XBOX Alpha dev kit!

[box_boy]

It'll never be enough to replace what was taken, but I hope this helps a bit
