Hi Ben,

sorry to read that your Vaio has been stolen..:smileysad:

As far as I am aware the serial number for your vaio should be printed on the side of the original box.

The serial number should is in 2 parts:

  • an 8-digit model code, starting by 27, 28, 29 or 54.
  • a 7-digit serial number

Have you registered your vaio.?

If you have registered your vaio and you are unable to locate the serial number on the original box then if you happy to please send your name, contact number &/or email address via Private Message to either  Blencogo or me and we'll forward them onto someone from Vaio support who will hopefully contact you..

You should also report the theft to the Police.

Once you have your vaio's serial number if you provide the following information to Vaio support..

- the serial number of your stolen vaio..
- a copy of the police report..
- contact details of the police department handling the theft..

They will place your vaio onto their stolen database..

Hi Ben

Sorry to hear your laptop was stolen

Just to let you know that there is a product that could stop this in the future, Security Loop - it's an alarmed cable lock - small and light weight. So if you're out and about and put your laptop down, you can secure it and the alarm will alert you if someone tries to take it.

If you're one of the first 1,600 to pre-order yours from quirky.com they will give you some royalties on all future sales.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear this.


I've removed your laptop details as this is a public forum.

 

I would recommend that you report the theft to the police.

 

I would then recommend contacting the support team on 020 7365 2810 who will assist with putting your VAIO onto the stolen database. 

 

Best wishes,

 

Sean Mc
