RIP. Stolen Deck

As of 2.2.2025 22:30ish my Steam Deck unfortunately got stolen from my place of work in a break in. This morning I watched the security recording of burglar walking away with my backpack. May this "roadman" perish in a fire.

The one weekend I leave my backpack at my office under my desk a piece of **** breaks in and steals among other things my backpack. My beatiful baby served me well since circa Sep 16, 2022 @ 6:37pm when I first pruchased it for myself as a birthday gift.

RIP fallen hero.

Edit: Thank you for all the support!

I've filed an insurance claim.

I have contacted steam support. They've marked the serial # as stolen.

I've ended all steam sessions and changed my password. I have mfa enabled cross the board and use a password manager.

edit edit: I've determined that the culprit used the lowest form of social engineering to gain access to the Gymnasium which is used on the weekends by different sports groups: walked in with the crowd who had access wasn't stopped by anyone and just hid away in the locker rooms or equipment storage. When everyone had left the culprit used the weakly secured fire door which can be forced open for safety to gain entry to the main building. This tripped the door alarm and IR sensor in the corridor. Then this person proceed to quickly fumble around first in a kiosks which had it's window open, there was nothing of value to steal then he forced his way in to my office which has a glasspane he broke. Took a few things including my backpack, fumbled with the lights briefly turning lights on in the lobby. After this he vacated the premesis through the main entrance (which opens from the inside due fire safety). Ten minutes after the burglar left, guard showed up to do a sweep.

Not very exciting and not very common in our area which is nice. Unlucky for me.
