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..

TS, sorry for your lost, do try monitor auction site around, might be popping out somewher. Will look out for you

If you can give a very good reward then maybe alot ppl will help you or else whoever stolen see this thread also will sell then give u because maybe No money or maybe 30% of full amount. If they sell they get 90% at least.
Any electronic device in the right hand can easily erased. So better say goodbye.

No harm in trying but these days not many ppl sell online. They just ask their friend and spread news someone interested its gone for good

What can the TS do if the item travel to Middle-east or Africa?Nowadays, no offense, I saw lot of africans or Iraqi/saudi arabian and etc... come here to get laptops to send back their home countries...
Just share your loss and sorry about that!

If you're looking for some sort of tracking...
the answer is Orbicule's Undercover.
Their website explains everything: http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/
give it a read.

I got this for my 13" MBP the moment i got it.
But for maximum protection, it doesn't stop there.
I enabled the firmware protection, which requires a password to enter the boot menu so you can't reformat or even boot from a different partition. I don't know what happens if you change the hard disk though but I think it won't even allow the new hard disk to be used?
I enabled the option in the security preference pane to "request password 5 mins after sleep or screen saver begins". Of course that means u should have a login password.
Since the Undercover software works by tracking the user while online, I need to enable the thief to be able to use my mac. So I enable fast user switching and created another Standard Account (NOT admin) for the thief to use which doesn't have a login password. I also locked down my personal folders/home folder and can only be accessed by me. So in the event my mac gets stolen, the thief has no choice but to use the Standard Account I created and can do pretty much any basic thing except anything that requires admin access. He can't access my folders but he can use every bit of the remaining available space for his own use.
Then hopefully, in due time, I will be able to track that bugger down. And hopefully he/she ain't a tech geek.

yeah. i know the feeling..

but. why dino007 from jb hasn't given me a single news.
