If your computer is stolen

Should your computer be stolen, however, we’ll help you try to find it.

Before contacting TOSHIBA, please prepare the following information

which is necessary to uniquely identify your computer:

In which country was your computer stolen?

What type of machine do you have?

What was the model number (PA number)?

What was the serial number (8 digits)?

When was it stolen, i.e. date?

What is your address, phone, and fax number?

To register the theft on paper, please follow these procedures:

Fill in the TOSHIBA Theft Registration form (or a copy of it) below.

Attach a copy of your receipt showing where your computer was

purchased.

Either fax or send the receipt and registration form to the address

below.

To register the theft online, please follow these procedures:

Visit www.toshiba-europe.com on the Internet. In the product area,

choose Computer Systems.

In the Computer Systems page, open the Support & Downloads menu

and choose the Stolen Units Database option.

Your entries are used to track your computer at our service points.

Always take care of your computer and try to prevent it from being stolen.

You are the owner of a valuable technical device, which may be highly

attractive to thieves, so please do not leave it unattended in a public place.

To further help protect against theft, security cables can be bought for use

with your notebook when it is being used at home or in the office.
Make a note of your computer’s machine type, model number, and serial

number, and put it in a safe place. You will find this information on the

underside of your notebook. Please also keep the receipt of the computer

you purchased.
