Can stolen property be retrieved from overseas?
Long story short, I roommates with a foreign exchange student from Germany, and when he moved out at the end of the school year, he took my laptop with him. The tracking software I installed on there indicated that the IP address that is using it is in Germany...is it possible to have the American police contact the German police and retrieve the laptop, or am I just out of luck?

You won't know until you report it to the police. Given the cost of shipping a laptop from Germany to the US (not much) you should be able to recover it if the Polizei cooperate. Germany is a very law and order oriented society so I would not be surprised at all if the German authorities do cooperate with your local police.

Well you can definitely try but honestly I don't think its worth it. Because amount of money you will spend assuming if it goes that far in first place. Its not wroth it because it will cost you more than 300$ for sure I have send enough items on shipping to know that. But you can try i just don't think its worth the trouble or the money might as well just buy a new 300$ laptop that dose the job

Ha--you're funny... Buy it some tea and biscuits, that should do the trick!! Serious, you can't trick ip addresses.
3 :
check the channels website, see if they have any webstreams of what you want to watch, if not, you might just have to wait till you get back to the UK.
4 :
you could try to hack the computer or find out your ip address and change it back to what it was in the UK but i don't know if its really legal... or if its possible best of luck and do try giveing it bisquikes maybe it'll soften up :)

I am traveliing to Germany and was wondering the cheapest way of accessing the internet on my iphone &laptop?
Hey, thanks for looking, I am travelling to Berlin in a few days time and was wondering that is the cheapest way of accessing the Internet through my iphone and my wirelesss laptop. Many Thanks, Colin Is it possible to put a German sim-chip in my 02 iphone? Are there any USB dongles that I can buy in Germany that provide a fixed daily fee (e.g. รข‚¬2 a day)

Find some open Wi-Fi spots at cafes or whatever. Paying for international AT&T (or whomever) service is an idiotic idea

What should I bring with me to Europe
What should I bring with me to Europe?
Traveling from US to Germany next year with my HP Pavillon laptop. What do you recommend I get in terms of equipment? Additional battery? Cables? What about connecting to the Internet? What have you done and what products worked well for you? Where did you buy the stuff and how much was it?

Well first of all, you're definitely going to have to get an outlet adapter. Their outlets are totally different from the ones that we have in the States. So unless you plan on just using your laptop for 3 hours (or however long a battery lasts), I would get one of those. As far as connecting the internet and all that jazz goes, I think your standard wireless card should do, although I'm not sure. I think you can access wireless in internet cafes, and places like those. Good luck and I hope you have fun in Germany!

Get something to convert the power to your laptop. Also be aware that the manufactureres warrenty is void as soon as you leave the US. Bring a case with padding for protection. Make sure your computer has the basic antivirus/spyware protection. A flash drive is a great tool and small enough to carry everyday (size of a cigerette lighter)

they have different voltages coming out of the wall. not sure what volts but a converter from us to Europe volts to charge ur laptop. I sure any radio shack will carry it and know what your talking about. as far as everything else i believe its universal

I took mine to Norway last year and only needed a plug adapter. The power cord for your computer coverts the power for you. Just check the box in the middle of your cord and make sure it says the higher voltage on it. All the newer ones do. Some hotels and Internet Cafes provide Internet connections but it is costly. I'd check into that before I go. Have a great trip!
5 :
Your notebook model is shipped with universal power adapter so you can use it any where in the world. As the wall pin outlet varies from region to region you need to buy wall socket by contacting any retailer after reaching Germany
