Well dang, it would appear my stuff was stolen from my vehicle while I have been 1500 miles away and unable to afford repairs. That laptop included a number of prototypes I had never backed up anywhere, including tons of VFX prototypes from when I worked on Manifold Golden.

Hey y'all! I'm really hoping for this to be my final large fundraising goal. After finally getting my car back from bureaucratic hell and getting it inspected, the repair quote ended up around $4500. If you've ever enjoyed my work and would like to see more, your support would mean the world~

That's awful. This didn't need to happen...

Help would be massively appreciated, but I fear I may need to increase the goal even more, unfortunately. Hoping to find out more whenever I can get a hold of the shop currently holding it car, since they've been a bit limited in their correspondence so far.

Had a brief call with the repair spot but they didn't have anything to say other than apparently police interest seeing the vehicle there for over a week which is... hhhhhh

Also they do not do installments so I have to be able to commit to the full repair cost before we can do anything. The moment I get back home tonight I will have to skip resting & immediately enter massive emergency fundraising plans (rent + car repair + now a missing MacBook Pro guhhhhh)

I have no idea how to approach them about it going missing, honestly. I'm generally timid, & they've been doing a bit of a good job at making me feel like I've inconvenienced them by not committing to the repair after several weeks. But it was def stolen from deep inside while under their watch.
