Oculus rift stolen during move, is there anything I can do?

Hi,

I had my oculus rift stolen when i was moving from GA to MI. I packed everything and when I unpack it's gone. And yes, I checked everything like 4 times already and it's not "hidden" anywhere. My question is what can I do at this point? Can I report it stolen? Can I track it somehow? Please help me.

You can track it virtually.

Step 1:  Buy another Oculus Rift
Step 2:  Play Elite Dangerous
Step 3:  Wait for one of your movers to coincidentally show up at Nav Beacon
Step 4:  Settle dispute

go f**k yourself. Don't let me run into you in real life tough guy


Lighten up, Francis.  Was meant to be funny.  

I don't think there is a way, unless every one is somehow digitally signed and can be tracked via Oculus servers.  Sounds like a question directly for support.  And yes, you can report it stolen via the police but honestly...  without a suspect or evidence, it probably isn't going to be worthwhile (trust me).

Wow.  You can just log off and don't come back here if that's how you're going to act.  It was a joke, nothing more.

All you can do in this situation is go through insurance.  It's likely not worth it though, as you'll still have the deductible and then your rates will likely go up.

First report it to the moving company/shipper whatever.
Report it to police.
Make an insurance claim.
Buy new rift with insurance money.

Maybe someone stole your Rift as punishment for making physical threats on the internet. In which case I'm glad it's gone. I hope they are using your Rift for virtual reality porn as we speak.

C'mon guys, give him a break.  I would be more than a little pissed off if this happened to me.  Am sure he didn't mean to offend.  Anyone would be a bit raw if that happened...
