The Case of Troy's Stolen Macbook

Please help me to replace my laptop that was stolen so I can continue to create and share my music!

Auckland

Last week my car was broken into and my laptop was stolen. It contained all of my music projects, finished and unfinished, and things I was planning to release in the near future.

I have filed a police report, notified Apple and have been checking local buy and sell/trademe pages regularly. I still have hope that it'll be returned, although the police have said there is not much they can do. I've given them the serial number and model details.

I've always found it a bit uncomfortable asking for help in these situations, but this time I feel the need to reach out in order to begin recreating what I've lost.

I would like to offer anyone who is generous enough to donate my full discography as both Troy Samuela & Samuel Truth; and for music makers I'm going to create a melody/sample pack for you to use for free once I have the laptop.

Thank you all for your support in the past and I appreciate any contributions.

Use of funds

Funds will be used to purchase a Macbook to replace the one that was stolen. In the case that my laptop is returned I will use the funds to recover any damages/data loss.
