Stolen PowerBook appears on eBay, however…
Closed Published January 27th, 2006 in Apple, Internet, Technology
…this time it was the person who owned the PowerBook who put up a detailed post on what happened with his PB and when it was stolen etc. I have to say that this is a very good idea done by the person. This way the theifs can’t just sell it on eBay to make a quick profit. There is a reward for $500 for the person with any information that leads to the recovery of the PB.
*** UPDATE – 25 JAN 06 11.27 PM – I SPOKE WITH THE POLICE TONIGHT, THEY HAVE JUST SUBMITTED THEIR FORMAL REQUEST FOR THE TRACES FOR THE IP ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBERS USED TO CONTACT ME. OF COURSE THERE MAY BE SOME DELAYS IN GETTING THRU THE PRIVACY ACT REQUIREMENTS BUT THEY ARE GOING TO PUSH THIS AS HARD AND FAST AS THEY CAN.
MESSAGE TO THIEVES : THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU RIGHT NOW IS TO GO AND SEE A SOLICITOR AND HAVE HIM CONTACT ME SO THAT WE CAN WORK THRU THIS OTHERWISE WAIT UNTIL THE POLICE BUST YOUR DOOR DOWN. OH YEAH, AND DON’T RING ME AGAIN AT 2.20 AM, UNLIKE YOU I AM HAPPILY ASLEEP AT THIS TIME.
The brief excerpt from above clearly shows the dedication from the person and how much they want their PB back. It looks like they will get caught soon enough unless they somehow change the IP or sell the PowerBook in a shady place. I really hope this person gets their PB back soon.
