Dudes, time and a place
The only game theft I ever had happen to me was a kid in middleschool asking to borrow some Playstation games right before he moved away. Seriously super dick move. Since then I have not lent out many games.

Stolen Vita is as bad as touching a small child sexually!

I work in a small office. Government job so no customers. The only thing I can think is that it was someone contracted out that does maintenance or cleaning. My coworkers have been my coworkers for years. No cameras either.

They'll have record of anybody who came in to do that. Honestly, tell your Boss.

Probably a bad idea to change the password.
Didn't Sony help the police once by giving out the IPs of who used the account on a stolen PS3?

Yeah I know that feeling. Last December my daughter (2yr old) was in the ER with a fever over 102 and needed an iv. 7 hours later at midnight we get to leave. Go outside in the cold weather rushing to get home for work in the morning and our car was stolen.
We live an hour from the er too so we got to sit there and talk to other sick people while my parents came and got my family.
Security cams didn't see shit either. Awesome to have your 1998 Honda with a baby seat taken in December.

Since his password has been changed that probably won't work. Hopefully Sony can find it somehow using the GPS.
I'd be nice if the OP somehow gets it back, I still love that story where the one guy tracked down his 360 stolen from his dorm room using the controller that they left behind.

People are assholes. Sorry op. I don't think I've had something big stolen. Someone stole a pencil from my desk in grade 7 I was fucking pissed.
You should give it to OP then. Seems he wants a Vita but doesn't have one, and you have a Vita but don't want one.
Well, I'd still talk to them if I were you. If it was a coworker, they probably know you won't suspect them, so it's the perfect crime. Don't know what you could win by asking them, but there's certainly nothing to lose now.I work in a small office. Government job so no customers.

And the Vita jokes got old 50 posts ago, guys!

My wife had her nook stolen in the hospital, the day she gave birth, which happened to be Mother's Day.

They always tell you to lock your stuff when you walk away from your desk for a reason....
Bullshit. Otherwise put your money where your mouth is, find the machine, which is probably in your drawer somewhere, and send it to the OP. I'm sure the OP won't mind paying the shipping fees.
I read that as neck and thought it was weird lol

If it's been online, they can track it through serial number.
I keep all records of those things though.

Didn't you read his post? He can't give OP his Vita cause he doesn't know where it is.

Vita means life. A life was stolen. Whoever did this is basically a murderer.

That totally sucks OP but when you buy another Vita and use Near to see if it was indeed somebody who works with you that stole your Vita
lol, I would not risk my account on the hopes that Sony tracks the person down.

Sony can track it when it checks in via the GPS on Near
I had mine stolen over the summer as well, on a business trip in Europe. I feel you, it really sucks. Hope they return it, can't hurt sending out an email to management and building maintenance to let them know. Who knows, maybe it'll be anonymously returned if word gets back to the thief.
At least if you end up getting another one in the future, your digital stuff will be there waiting. Small consolation, but could be worse.

If you're not joking, let your superiors or management know an expensive item was stolen from your desk.
I doubt there aren't any logs or information on who entered the premises during the weekend, if you left it there on Friday.

I *ahem* I know that feel, bro.
My house was burglarized three time in the last eight months. The first time they pushed out window air conditioning unit and climbed through the window. The cops told us to leave it in because if we took it out the next time they'd just break the window. We took it out anyway; eight days later they just broke out the window. The last time was about six months later, they came in through the same fucking window.
All told they made off with:
42" Magnavox
32" Vizio
PS3 + two Dualshocks + Final Fantasy XIII
Kindle Fire
iPad 2
Toshiba Qosmio laptop ($1600 media/gaming laptop my dad got me for college graduation)
HP netbook
Wii + Xenoblade Chronicles (NOOOO)
DSi
3DS + Mario Kart 7
PSP + Kingdom Hearts BBS
50" Samsung
Dell laptop (this was less than 4 weeks old)
My fiance's work laptop (they are deducting a total of $1200 from her checks in reimbursements)
Each time they left the 360.

Sorry to hear that OP.
If you were Dwight from The Office I would say now would be the time to launch an ill-conceived but hilarious sting operation to try to catch the thief.

Good idea, maybe if they're really dumb they'll put it up with the memory card and the games and it will be real obvious.

Sucks OP, I've been robbed not to long ago too. Hopefully your local police are good and can help you talk it down. All you guys making jokes are assholes. /:
Sorry to hear about it OP.
My car was broken into years ago, and things that were only valuable to me were taken (years worth of artwork and concepts/scripts I had been working on).
It's a terrible violation. But if the Vita can indeed be tracked by Sony, nothing should stop you from at least trying it. I didn't even have that option with my stolen artwork.

I don't care what it takes, I'd be moving my ass OUT of that place.
And I would have installed cameras after the second time.
I'm not all about blaming the victim but man, first time sucked, second time was a fucking tragedy, but the third time was all on you.
Are you gonna let there be a fourth time? Hope you are taking precautions.

The cynical responses in this thread are bumming me out.
Sorry OP, having things stolen is more personal and causes more unease than one would assume. Sucks you're going through that. It also doesn't help that the total dollar amount for all of that is pretty substantial
