You may or may not have heard by now that Real Housewives of Atlanta newbie Claudia Jordan‘s car was broken into a few weeks ago and her laptop was stolen.
According to Rodney Ho of the AJC:
The Atlanta Police Department said it happened on Monday [January 5, 2015] and her Apple Macbook Pro was taken in a large black handbag. She had left the parking garage at 11:45 a.m. that day and had found her car broken into at about 8:30 p.m. She had left her bag in the backseat of her car. A man called her and said he had found her bag, computer gone. He found the bag at 367 Woodward Ave. She tried to track the laptop but it was off at the time the police were there with her, the police said.
Apparently Claudia’s laptop has some good stuff on it, because according to a c&d I received last night, she thinks I have it! 😯
