Even if it's not online when it opens, if it's sold then somebody will get online with it eventually. Once somebody cracks my password it's no problem to get through and get online.

Bottom line, it'll go online at some point. I know it. And when it does, I'll be ready.
And before it goes online it'll with 99% certainity be reformatted or at least be unlinked from your iCloud.

The people who took it are not very smart.

You said before that you didn't know who took it...?

That was actually part of v1 of that post. :cookieMonster:

We can't nail down specifically who took it, but there's a group of kids at my school who have a serious history of theft and lots of evidence leads in their direction.

If those kids aren't very smart and you can get an online signal, go up to them and be like "Hey have you seen my mac, someone took it, if you know anyone who has a mac can you check if the password is YOURPASSWORDHERE, if it is that password can you get it back for me? thanks!"

This way they will log onto it and then you'll know for sure it was one of those kids.

They were smart, they got Trifax to stop using one.  :cookieMonster:

What if they broke the laptop?

I would imagine that he could still salvage the data or get a repair.

Hey yeah let's jump on an anti Mac bandwagon when we know nothing about them! Man I feel so cool and included.


You're a forgetin moron, marcem

I don't get why the hell would he steal your macbook, If I were him I wouldn't even try to steal a laptop I would try and steal a pc, because you can actually open them up and change whatever the hell you want in there.

Also you should probably put up some sort of thing like 1000 dollar reward for it and then the theif would probably say they found it and try and claim the reward.

Edit:And then give them no reward.

i don't know about you, I've stolen one thing before, that was someones iPod touch.
As soon as heard a beep I loving threw that stuff and ran.
Then two days later I went back and found it.
So I taped a firecracker to it and lit it up.
That iPod now lies in Apple heaven.

TL;DR iCloud simply gives a reason for the person to destroy your stuff and act like nothing ever happened
