The information is kept in your own Asset Register, only you can view, add, edit or delete your assets.

The only time other people will be able to see one of your Assets is when you report it as missing/stolen. It will then be placed in the public database which means people will be able to search for it if there buying pre-owned goods to make sure there not buying stolen items.

Hey,

This thread gave us a great idea for our new site, we have just created an asset register which you can register all your consoles / hardware on. If they go missing / lost you can report them to the main database where people can search when buying second hand goods. If they find your item for sale then they can contact you through it, help us make it worth something and add your stuff to the register.

I noticed Gorf is signed up at our site already so make sure you add your new stuff to it.

Theresd a link in my sig!

Well it's been awhile since my beloved box was stolen, the loss adjuster paid me a vist today, and all looks good, the only thing was, i went out and bought a 360 elite last week, and forgot he was coming round, he saw it and questioned me about it, when i explained "I bought it because i was sick and tired of watching all the crap the mrs watches, i had to buy one to get some sanity back in my life" he just laughed, made a note on his little book, saying to re-imburse me with the £300 quid i paid for the box, now the hard part comes, getting all my cars back on Forza 2, and my save game places............some long nights are coming in

Boy i'm glad to have the box back

Microshite finaly got in touch with me (4 days after my box was stolen) and told me to contact customer support 0800 587 1102, i chatted with their security team and this is what will happen.

1. My xbox live account will be suspended.

2. My xbox will not be able to connect to Xbox Live.

3. The "THIEF" will have to contact Xbox Live to get the box online, where the customer service rep will ask a few questions, the "THIEF" will probably say "I bought the consol 2nd hand" The Customer Service rep will ask for his details, Address, Contact Number, etc, where they will then give him XBL Access.

4. Customer Service will then contact me with the new details, where i can then goto the Police and hand them over, and he will get a nice little visit.

5. If the xbox ever gets the "ring of death" or any other hardware faults, it will not be repaired, because the xbox has been reported stolen, and can only be reactivated by myself if i ever get it back.

6. My gamertag will not be lost (Thank God) and when i get my new box, i have to phone XBL up, give them a reference number and they will re-activate my account

All this took 33 mins to sort out, thank god it was an 0800 number

its a good point ! yes if you have registered your 360 with live then technically they could track when this machine comes online, however running through the reams and reams of data produced by the main hub just to find your 360 if it ever goes online, unlikey, sorry dude next fit a tracking device, or better still a self-destruct if the 360 leaves a certain area

Sorry M8. I agree with flan, bring back the birch/death penatly.

I have all my games from megadrive days too today, it would be impossible to replace them if they were stolen. They are not usually covered on the house insurance

RE: Stolen 360

Gorfinkle — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:23:49 GMT

Ok guys, my beloved 360 was stolen on saturday afternoon (23rd Feb), including all my games, along with some other stuff. The police have been notified, but hold out little hope of getting it back. Is there a contact number for me to get intouch with microsoft to report this, so they could monitor XBL and see if my box gets connected to XBL? They left the power supply tho, bloody idiots. Any help would be much appreciated. If anyone who lives in the Birmingham area knows of any being sold on the cheap (Mine was sprayed Silver, and had an Assassin's Creed faceplate) could they let me know asap. THX
