Dear all,

My younger brother's black Macbook was stolen yesterday with the serial number W87210NWYA4.

It's a 2.16GHz, Intel Core Duo Macbook with 1GB RAM and 120GB Hard Disk.

Only the laptop was stolen, so if anyone tries to sell you a black MACBOOK ONLY,
Please check the serial number and inform me immediately.
You can also contact me at 016-8103777
or e-mail me at pr0z4c89 @ gmail.com

Please notify me if you have any word on it.
The poor kid's pretty heartbroken.

They didn't steal the charger, and that would cost about RM500 for them to purchase.

The macbook is totally password protected, so they can't log in.
They don't have the restore CD's so they can't reformat it.
Even if they do, it's already registered under someone else's name.

We requested CCTV footage and we saw that it was 2 men who took it,
Both seemed like construction people.

So unless they're going to sell it to someone who's dodgy enough to buy a Macbook stolen from a little boy,
Who is willing to go out and buy a new charger and find the restore software, I doubt they can do much to it.
It's too much hassle to steal a mac, honestly.

Unless of course they strip it for parts.
Which they won't get much for anyway.

But I'm hoping to get it back.
It's worth a shot.

yeah. it was lodged before i posted here.
although i wouldn't rely on the malaysian police force to be as efficient as in australia.

poor kid.
i might just end up buying him a new one.

but do keep an eye out for it.

as retarded as it is, now i activate iALERTu when i browse in public.
just so if someone as much as moves my macbook pro, the alarm goes batshit insane.
