If you have the files on your hard drive you are still able to recover it i think.
You should buy a new hardware like the one you have and do a full clone, to let the original one untouched, then try to recover the files of the new one (the cloned one) with software like recovery my files , recuva...
Maybe you can find something. As far as i know even if you format a hdd if you do not write data on it again the old data its fully recovereable.
Sorry to hear that story mate
Topic: Robbed ! any advice ? BTC 33 (Read 495 times)
I know who they are and they know I know .
so do the police....

This is a good prerequisite to get your money back!
If the thief already has transfered the coins to an exchange your chance of getting evidence is pretty good i would say.
Knowing the thief in 'real life' is always advantageous in those kind of thefts.
In most countries the value (you should get back) is calculated in FIAT-value at the time of the theft.
This probably won't get you your whole BTC back, but at the majority.
Make sure to provide your law enforcement agency all required information.
And please keep us informed on what happens next. This might be useful for a ton of people here.
You are not the first, and will not be the last one being 'physically' robbed.
... the thing with criminals is they have to keep on being criminals ....
eventually shit floats .

... I have been trying to recover the files from the drive/s I had OSX and Parallels on ....
I had the File on a USB-secreted away- and it was stolen by criminals I had the misfortune of knowing, who by my misfortune discovered
said file ....
now, I miss my fortune .... ;-(
talk about truth in the language .....
I know who they are and they know I know .
so do the police....
let them go to jail.
I'm still completely unclear on the how the OP reckons the theft took place. Someone knew a password? Where and how was the password stored? There was a physical theft of some sort?
Give us the full details and maybe someone might know something. If not then at least others might learn from it.

Exchanges are requesting verifications (for KYC) and it's an obvious wrong move for him.
Not very exchange is requiring verification.
Especially not for crypto-to-crypto trades.
If the attacker is somewhat competent he probably used an exchange without verification with a proxy to exchange the btc to an anonymous currency (e.g. monero).
From there on it would be a pretty easy task to sell those monero on an exchange which complies with the KYC policy.

Once or twice it got passed to a Coin Mixing Service, it will be harder for you to find the culprit via following the traces of transactions. Even the remaning unspent balance.
I bet the culprit didn't used an exchange to shapeshift your Bitcoins.

If he does use an exchange, contact the administration and request to track down any deposits that came from your suspected addresses.
But the thing is, most of those exchanges' customer service are crap, others have been known for neglecting reports from customers for months.
Good Luck.

I hope you can find it, but I'm afraid the hope is very small.
Don't expose your wealth to other people next time, whether this wealth is physical or digital.

Bitcoin not very anonymous at all from what I read ....
thats why MOnero etc.....
ASIO or FEDS can track this sort of thing from what i've read ....
Crooks come undone eventually......
no pockets in a funeral shroud ......

Well ,I'm still looking for a way to link the outputs to an exchange to catch the thief ,
any professional experts want to help me identify and report the funds location ?
how about half what we recover ,? as a reward for much effort ,,,,,?
they have not claimed BCH or others , perhaps theres a way to ID their IP ?
IF THE THIEF READS THIS RETURN MY BITCOIN BEFORE YOUR CAUGHT AD GOTO JAIL !

Maybe you should confront them on it, wear a microphone and record the conversation, this can be used as evidence against them later.
Alternatively, you can contact them posing as somebody else, try to set up a deal with the bitcoin, and then catch them out and report them.
However, most police forces do not take crypto theft seriously as its often not considered cash.
the usb has been stolen , I still have the drives my files should have been on ,
ive been dudded , my only hope is to police/bust the people who have those children of my coins...

You may still have luck finding the old wallet files on your harddrive.
The 11.9 BTC [1] unspent yet might be a change address of your old wallet.
I would suggest you make an image of your harddrive and try out some rescue software to find your wallet files.
Make sure to keep the original drive untouched if you are planning to submit this case to the police.

they have breached my walls to steal them ,
I plan on a rescue.

To bad but on 0.4 you are out of luck without the wallet file.
Im sorry as a noob im on a timer delay for posts, id meant tell you the wallet I had initially , was
bitcoin core 0.4 I think- if that's the version was first with enctryption , id gone to give an address off my osx version but there was no
encryption available , so I booted windows in parallells and D/loaded Bitcoin core , made a wallet without syncing the chain encrypted it and gave that public key ..
