    What happened? Description:
    While I was away for a training exercise for a week starting on 10/19/2020, my account was compromised somehow while I was away. A trade took place where almost all of my items were removed, and replaced with 100 normal weapons and items, most likely because the thief's account was full. During my time away, I received nothing about this on my steam mobile authenticator, which is even more frustrating, because if I didn't use it, the trade hold would have prevented this. I contacted steam, and they requested more information, giving me a glimmer of hope, and then after I gave them everything they wanted, they simply said they aren't able to help, only making the whole thing even more frustrating. I don't click suspicious links, I don't buy third-party game keys or do my trading on other websites, I barely even trade at all. I'm not sure if you guys can help with this, but a friend directed me here saying that you guys can at least track items going in/out of someones inventory, the accused persons inventory is already missing alot of my items besides my quarantine crates that I'd saved since they were worth 20 cents, currently around the price of a key each.
    Long story short, this happened literally out of the blue while I was away for a week and the two factor authentication didn't help at all. If you guys need any more information, I'd be more than happy to provide it. I have literally 0 idea who the account belongs to.​
