Another stolen car post

UPDATE: Car recovered. They did not get caught. Instead, they were riding in The Hill following a different car when they got spotted by the cops (?) and sped off. They took a corner way too fast and hit a curb, breaking the wheel and front axle. They abandoned the car in the middle of the street, ran to the other car and fled. The cops collected a bunch of evidence. They left a ton of shit in the car. The back door is broken and doesn't close. The keys no longer work. Calling around now to try to get it towed away. This is just the beginning of a long ordeal. I think the car is totalled. We'll see.

ORIGINAL POST: South city. I woke up this morning to find my car gone from in front of my house. No broken glass. I'm certain it was locked. Anyway, I called the cops, insurance, all that. It has a tracker buried in it. So now I'm watching them drive around North County. I know what addresses they stopped at. What gas station they went to several times. The county cops know. Dark Gray 2023 Honda CR-V hybrid. Had a full tank of gas, so this could go on for a long time. We'll see.

I'm a clumsy idiot. Possibly humorous read.

Ive had this Kamrui AK10PRO for a few years. It lives below my TV and has a wireless keyboard and mouse so I can do desktop stuff on my couch. Just kidding, it is 99% YouTube, IG, streaming services, etc.

Lately its been getting hot and making noise, and video quality is supper laggy. Unwatchable. So I poked around and came to the conclusion that it needs a new fan. To order a fan, most sellers want to know the order and colors of the wires between the fan and the connector. So just now I opened it up and tried to take the fan out. I have lots of tools. No problem. When I went to disconnect the male wire connector from the female socket soldered to the board (with my fine tweezers), it resisted, so I gave it a little extra and the plastic male connector broke into little pieces, but much of it is still stuck inside the female connector.

Is it possible to take this somewhere and get this fixed or have i just destroyed a $300 PC over a $10 part?

TL,DR: I broke a socket on my board am I screwed?

I've had this copy of the 4AD compilation "Lonely is an Eyesore" for at least 20 years and I guess I've never even opened it. I think I also have it on CD. Anyway, today I picked it up and decided that it was a bit heavy. Inside I found a bonus copy of Surfer Rosa by Pixies outside of the inner sleeve.
