[QUOTE="king247"][QUOTE="rbrown3"]There are a few things you can do: 1. Check local pawn shops, there is a chance they were just stealing this stuff for the cash, take the serial numbers of all the items stolen to every pawn shop you can find, if they have your item and you have the serial numbers, as well as the police report, by law they are required to turn the items back over to you. They will also have the name and address of the person who sold it to them, since by law they have to verify ID for everyone that pawns something. 2. INSURANCE, if your parents have homeowners insurance, there is nothing for you to worry about, as it will cover everything. 3. If you had a credit or debit card stored on that PS3, cancel it and have the bank put a tracer on the card number. If that person was dumb enough to use your PS3 and buy something from the Playstation store using the information stored on the console, it will make them much easier to track down. Even if they try to do something after you cancel the card the bank will flag the transactin and take appropriate action. 4. Talk to Sony, and have them trace the serial number, won't do any good until someone tries to go online with that console, but they can trace the person back to their IP address. Even if the person who stole it from you sold the console to someone else, it is still illegal to posess stolen goods, so you can get the police to get your PS3 back from the person that bought it from the original thief. Best of luck to you, sorry that happened, I hope my information was helpful

thanks for your help i appreciate it

no problem, glad I could help. I had my laptop stolen last year, never thought I'd see it again, then found it at a pawn shop about 5 months later. Hopefully everything works out for you

you heard wrong, 360 won't get a price drop until the holiday season at the earliest, microsoft already confirmed that
