advice to new djs with equipment!
get all of your serial numbers and take decent pictures of your stuff! my friends just had all of their stuff stolen–2 laptops, 2 tech 12’s, djm800. the serial number could be used to track things if they are pawned or things like that.

Montreal is famous for computer theft in cars. The IT department at work gives out a form with every laptop that explains how to travel with a laptop. Basically if it is on or even has the battery in it, thieves have small scanners that can detect it. They have the scanner in a bag and walk around shopping mall parking lots. When it beeps, they pop your trunk and bye-bye whatever they find.
We are told to take the lappy with us or remove the battery!

Then i learned from it and all the houses I have stayed in since are Fort fucking Knox.
Then…I got my dog. That was the ONLY way i found I could relax about my gear at my house.
Pity my boooi has passed on…
