I would love to feel sorry, but seems you’re technically capable of preventing this (unlike most people), just chose “convenience.”

Well, this is the downside of “convenience.”

If you manage to recover your belongings, I hope you stop preaching around how living in a normal apartment in society is good and everyone should accept the risk of home invasion instead of living in an underground bunker with biometric access controls and armed security.

living in an apartment sucks for security. You can't really own a gun and practice castle doctrine. Your landlord has a key to your home and can lock you out at any time, or can go through your mail.

There are other options like living in your own property, living in an RV, etc. that are better if you are worried about security.

If I was living in an apartment, I wouldn't be stashing all of my money under my mattress. I wouldn't run a business out of my apartment such that I would lose all of my equipment if I got evicted.

Similarly, I wouldn't do anything of importance on an apple computer. I wouldn't stash cryptocurrency on it, I wouldn't save my bank account details on it, I wouldn't run an important business that depends on their platforms. Because you're just renting and your lord can change the keys tomorrow.

So, you think there's either an unsecured apartment or a bunker, huh?

How about: you live in that apartment (your Apple ID), but keep your important stuff somewhere else?

Or do you simply have all your money as cash at home?
