my mbp was stolen at 16/10/09.. i've make a police report and etc. but it seems that there's no result. and i wonder if there's a way to report this case to all apple stores? is there any way to format my stolen mbp? because i didn't put log-in password. but how will the buyer/user will be able to use my mbp? because if we need password to do updates,etc.. please. it's my only entertainment as a college student. and all my assignments are all there. and final exam is coming soon. very soon. any way to trace the mbp? and anybody knows and wiling to help me? at least let the entire apple store know. and is there any other way that a apple product doesn't need to go to apple store to repair or anything else? thanks..

It can be easily wiped out
No such protection password etc when it comes to FORMATTING, IMO
Feel sorry for you

ow... it's very dissapointing.. thank you. there's no chance for me to get my mbp back?

I am really sorry for your loss mate. I am a college student myself, and i certainly know how you must feel. I lost my iPhone myself, and was quite depressed, but life goes on.

I dont know, the chances almost impossible
But just pray/ wish the thief will return it to you

The only you could do after much trials, is to pray to God, and hopefully you could see a halo of light at the end of the tunnel.

yeah.. life must go on.. god.. final exam and all my assignments are all gone.. it seems hopeless. aaaa! thanks guys for cheering me up

dude my 15" MBP late 2008 version got stolen YESTERDAY. urgh!
i used to have 2. good thing i brought one to college. now the other one is gone!
went to the police station etc but there cant do anything. sigh.

yeah i know how you feel. i've been treatin my mbp like a lady. goddamn life is hard. yeah the police can't do anything. sorry for you mate.. i've just been using my mbp since 15th august 2009. and now it's gone. why..

sphinx, a quick question, you stayed in your college's living quarters or , the macbook was stolen from your home?

for me. mine was stolen in the college's hostel
LEGENDA COLLEGE..

I am living in my college's quarters myself, and im quite scared about losing my new 13" MBP myself. I take extra caution like i would store the macbook in the locker everytime dont use the macbook and such.

well i stay next to my college. not under my college. but its a friggin harlem here. urgh! damn disappointed and freaked when my housemate called me and told me that our house got broken into. call that cud kill someone! GAHHH! good thing he didnt know the value of everything else that was on and around my table. only took the shiniest thing he/she saw.

I feel for you man. My iPhone was stolen, when i was staying in my school's dormitory of 4, as it was broken into while i was sleeping at 4 in the morning. Bloody bastards, i just hope one day they would regret for their actions.

but the funny thing is, didnt take charger. only the laptop w/o any bag. how can anyone not see sumone bringing out a laptop that shinny and big? sigh.

Unfortunate for me, the ******* who took my iPhone ran away along with the charger as well. Macbook charger is hell expensive, he is dumb enough not to take it away with him haha

Looks like Apple needs to do something like anti thief protection where it can tracks where the MB goes.

Something like a GPS - email base reports. I reckon the iPhone has this system.

use the kensington lock on the macbook.. it is there for a reason.

how does the lock works?
got any link? really considering it now after what happened.
