PSA: Get your serial number, write it down NOW
I'm sure this has come up before, but I wanted to bring it up AGAIN for those who own a 3ds or N3DS
I brought my n3ds in my backpack to a park this weekend and at some point during the day it fell out. Since I had a few beers throughout the day, I simply wasn't paying close attention so it's really impossible for me to know when or where exactly it might've popped out of my bag.
Since I haven't been able to find it, I began looking into how to transfer my purchases to a new system when I finally get around to buying one (could be a while). Apparently, the entire Nintendo e-pay system requires that you have your old serial number to work.
If you don't have that, you are SOL. Don't be like me and think 'I'll do it later' and then never do it. Not only am I down an expensive system, but likely down the games I bought with it.
It's easy to get mad at the shitty system Nintendo has in place. I should be able to deactivate my account on any device, and my device serial should arguably AUTOMATICALLY become associated with my single username password, not unlike Steam...

but that's all pointless to argue at this point, because I'm down about 150 dollars worth of games, plus the system (300).
Not a great day for me today, but hopefully you can all learn from my horrible mistake.

Update: Something I discovered from this whole ordeal was that, essentially, the representative you get and what you tell them means a LOT. I still maintain that the easiest solution for everyone is to write your serial number down ASAP and keep it somewhere safe. If you don't have that you can still get your stuff back, but it's more hoops to jump through. First off, do not tell them that your item was stolen unless you feel like filing a police report. Something about the magic word 'stolen' sends you down a whole different script in their phone service and it's a lot more of a pain. Just tell them your 3DS was lost, and you should be good to go. Second off, know what games you have purchased! I know this sounds obvious, but knowing what games you have and when you got them is part of their questioning to confirm it's you and I had to think a bit about it before getting it right. Third, DON'T BRING YOUR 3DS OUT DRINKING WITH YOU! I'm pretty sure my system got stolen while I was in a crowded bar and it was in my back pack on the ground next to my stool (which ironically seemed safer than on my back)
