My Mining rigs wore stolen 3weeks ago! Here is how I found the robber and got the rigs back
3 weeks ago, I took one day off to be with my family. We went for walking up a mountain some hours away (I live in Norway).
When we came back from the mountain and to the hotel we were staying at, i got an e-mail about that my mining rigs had stopped. I looked at the mail and it showed me that the rigs had stopped with one minute time between each other. I thought it was weird, but maybe it was a power cut i thought.
So the next day, we wake up early and we are driving home, having a really good time on the road trip. So we come home and the first thing I do is to check on the mining rigs. They were gone! It was a horrible feeling, so much money and so much work stolen from me. There is 4 rigs with 8 gtx 1070's each so in total 24 gtx 1070s, i had made the frames my self, cutting the aluminium took days and assembling them was hard work. I had spent to much time and money on the rigs to let this pass. So The next day I went to the police station, with one person I thought it could be, I had recently listed the rigs for sale and a person came to look at them a week before they were stolen. No one else knew where they wore or where I live. It had to be him, but the police in my country are not allowed to search a house/building without the owners agreement. So I had to find evidence that he had the rigs. Luckily for me he had left the cables for the power supplys. 3 out of 4 rigs used standard power cords, but one of the rigs had an old psu which is out of production and very hard to get. So i thought maybe he will have problems finding a place to buy the power cord for the rig, so I made a fake account on a local e-bay website and listed the power cord for sale. And guess ho shows up, the robber him self, the guy ho had visited me for a look on the rigs a week before the robbery.
He doesn't know it's me so I tried not to make it obvious, but asked for a picture of the power supply he needed the wire for and a picture of the spesifications on the power supply. So he sent it and on the spesifications there is also the serial number and since I was lucky enough to have a picture of the serial number of that power supply on my phone I could use it as evidence. So I showed the police the evidence, since the police is lazy asfuck here in Norway they hadn't even registered the case after 2weeks! But when I showed the evidence they said they wore sorry and arrested him.
Now as I have my rigs back, they are fucked up.... every configuration needs to be changed so fucking annoying and so many problems that I haven't had before. Whatever he did, he fucked up the cards so im going to demand money for the rigs. You don't fuck with me!
