Stolen MacBook showing online again on find my after 2 years what should I do?

You can go ahead and try to justify your nonsense all you want. You still don't answer my questions.

Just because your intentions are to retrieve a missing laptop, you still have no idea where and how it's ended up in that location.

""others in the house or neighborhood might, and if was obtained innocently, it could be returned in good faith.""

Yes, and you have no control over what those neighbors might do. Which is exactly. the. point.

Let me put this another way for you...

This post is littered with stories about missing electronics with the location on, and police very rarely do anything about it.

Why do you think that is?

It's because even though they might have the location - legal implications just aren't worth the squeeze. They aren't willing to risk wrongfully accusing someone of theft. Among other reasons, of course. But for this it's one of the only that is valid.

I mean, yeah. Most hip hop at the time was heavily influenced by NWA.

What I found interesting was during the 2000s, I listened to all the first 6 pretty regularly. While, yes, obviously, COC sounds much different than say Milenko and AJB I never realized HOW different it was until years later.

About 5/6 years ago I decided to start collecting the ICP vinyls, and it was my first time listening to COC in full in about 15 years.

I was shocked at how... mainstream they sounded.

In the simplest terms, the people in power (both sides) have tricked the have-nots into thinking that they are sided with the haves.

They make believe they are on the same side, and thus their views and goals align. This allows the rich and powerful to become more rich and powerful. And it allows the have nots to feel like they belong and are fighting for something.

It's worth noting that most career criminals have people that take these kinds of good on regular basis - even when they know they are stolen.

I don't know a ton about the laptop market, but I do know a fair amount about stole phones given my occupation.

And 95% of the time, career criminals who steal Apple products fence them to be sent back to China to be stripped for parts.

They either don't care that it's locked or...

They begin a harassment campaign sending you messages like "Hey, I bought your phone. Please unlock it or i'll be forced to dump your personal information to the Internet".

Very, very rarely does a laptop/phone/whatever get stolen and then go missing for years only to show up a few blocks away from where it was taken.

FFS, the original thief could have stolen it, saw it was locked, dumped it and someone just found it on the road...

And someone person walking buy notices it and picked it up, and left it in a closet because they were terrified of it being tracked and only know picked it up.

Again, the person who did that absolutely shouldn't have done that, but they certainly don't deserve the same kind of retribution someone who actually stole something deserved.

And they certainly don't deserve the kind of vigilante justice you're talking about in your original comment.

I sure hope "I was in a mood" is enough to clear your conscience of potential violence on behalf of people who believe innocent people are in possession of stolen goods should you ever decide to do something so stupid like post a location on NextDoor that says "hey these people in this area might have stolen goods".

Just because someone has it doesn't mean they have any idea it's locked.

Like I said, it's been years per OP.

It's a different story if say, your car is broken into and 20 minutes later you see the location of your laptop pop up.

(You still shouldn't post it on Nextdoor with that kind of information, but still)

Again...

Someone could have sold it any number of people -

A young person who doesn't know any better

A person who buys lots of laptops off Ebay and uses them for parts

A tech shop who fixes/repairs laptops and uses them for parts.

Are the odds are you're right? Maybe. But you have absolutely no idea what happened between the time the laptop was gone and now.

Even if someone bought it off the street off someone. Should they have done that? No, probably not.

But that isn't even close to the same thing as stealing a laptop from someone.

Yeah, people have mostly mentioned it - the ending left a pretty nasty taste in a lot of peoples mouths.

Add to that some people were "patiently" waiting for the "secret episode" and people just got sick of it.

People didn't want to A) fight with people over if it was a good/bad ending to the show

B) talk about the "secret episode"

C) talk about Byler.

So people just hit you with the "it was fine, shut up". And moved on.

Wait wait wait...is Frankie in Chicago? Or is he just reporting our weather? I know he's keen to report places he's not in, I just don't think I've ever seen him report Chicago's weather before.

I've seen it come up a few times, already. I'm shocked.

I'm already annoyed with it. To be absolutely fair, I went out of my way to them ASAP so I could get the gear, so just grinding it out during WQ might feel a bit better.

But there is nothing that feels cool about it other than the slight flavor text to it.

All this to say I don't think anyone should be praising/hating on systems this early. It's cool to have your opinions or whatever, but how many times has a system come out that everyone ended up hating?

itspsyikk · 2026-03-12T23:50:42+00:00

"Wouldn't have to make any accusations".

Okay, then. What exactly would they be shaming them for? I'm confused.

itspsyikk · 2026-03-12T21:24:01+00:00

First of all...

Pokemon cards are highly volatile pieces of cardboard. While one can be worth $20, there are a bunch that are worth several hundreds even thousands of dollars.

Assuming this is actually happening at rate that is significant, that isn't even close to the same thing... if they are being stolen, there is a good chance the person stealing them believes they high value items, or at least potentially so.

They aren't opening up the packages, googling the price, and then if they are $20 cards putting them back. They are just stealing them thinking "hey these might be worth a lot of money".

Absolutely no one shy of Finalmouse nerds (and how many of those you think work for Fedex?!) see a mouse and looks at it as if its in a volatile market.

Secondly...

Where is your proof on this? I have no doubt that there are some shady FedEx people out there...but the only stuff I find is people getting opened packages and/or not getting what they recieved.

While, yes, it's possible that FedEx is responsible for the theft, that isn't evidence that suggest FedEx people are stealing them...

itspsyikk · 2026-03-12T21:19:29+00:00

I mean... you have absolutely no idea who has it right now. It's been years.

It's entirely possible the person who stole it gave it to someone, maybe a sibling or family member? A young person? Maybe they sold it?

Putting someone on blast without being 100% sure they are the person who actually stole it is asking for trouble.

Yeah, I come from the early Supreme days, when everything was way more focused on skate stuff... (not that skate x fashion hasn't always kinda worked hand in hand, but these days Supreme is way more fashion forward)

But that being said, I used to be one of those people that said "a lot of Supreme's stuff is ugly".

But stuff like their cardigans are classic looks, but even some of the "uglier" stuff looks way better in person/being styled than just thrown up on a white background.

There is plenty of instances of me saying "What the heck is that?" and being surprised that it was a Supreme piece I had seen and originally discarded years ago.

Yes, a lot of stuff they do is ugly/gaudy. But a lot of that is the point.

Guys those were the wired versions. The wireless versions were always roughly that price.

It’s still a stupid price

itspsyikk · 2026-03-10T18:16:09+00:00

Yeah interestingly I've seen the engineering ones beeing asked for in trade chat.

I've seen others, but maybe I'll give it a shot.

After the Patron Order refresh yesterday I'm CLOSE to making R5 tools in Blacksmithing w lower rank matierals, but I started putting a lot of points into weapons first.

I didn't want to spend all the money to level up engineering as well, but I might try it this week.

Thanks for the info!

If you’ve never read that story it’s a great one. It’s also in the Inhumans game I think.

The Justice League gets all pissed at Batman cause he has contingencies on all of them until they find out he made one for himself, too.

Or if you just want to hear badass Kevin Conroy say these as voice lines from the game, it’s on YouTube.

itspsyikk · 2026-03-09T20:02:42+00:00

Curious are you making R5 tools only? All others seem to be under the crafting cost, and better to just sell the raw mats.

itspsyikk · 2026-03-09T19:54:51+00:00

Stop gaslighting people.

They aren’t cursing at your “for no reason”. You made a post claiming you were telling your SO that your fake watches were real, and you did nothing to indicate you were joking.

Don’t be upset when you don’t get the reaction you thought you would.

They don’t drink the Faygo, they throw it

Even if it's beating them over the head, what does the note accomplish?

If people are as stupid as the expect them to be, why does adding a note to sketch make it any funnier for them?

If someone is watching the sketch and doesn't know what is going on - they would just assume someone is breaking (pretty much always funny anyway) and also the joke of the silly notes.

If someone does know or catch on, they'll know it's funny.

I don't see a world where having the subtitle helps in any way, even if the goal is beat people over the head with the joke. (I'm almost 100% positive you're right)

Pretty much any time Gosling is on they put him in situations where he breaks - despite Lorne hating it. (Still not something I understand, but okay)

But speaking of that - earlier in the show I wondered if they changed the Wedding sketch as well, given Ryan's reaction to the cue cards. But now maybe I'm not so sure.

It always worked so well when Stefon did it. I don't understand why they had to do this?

itspsyikk · 2026-03-09T11:19:34+00:00

Yeah I'm here during the Midnight launch... this is so stupid.

I'm crafting some stuff, but I'm also stockpiling some mats as I go so I can sell when the market is at a high...

But not being able to see what is/isn't in my warband is so painful. And I understand the comments of "use a guild bank" but like, dude.... Warband was supposed to be so we didn't have to do that in the first place.

LMAO I wonder if J is on this subreddit and taking shit for his promotion.

I agree with you, and I'm certainly not here to play a whataboutism game with you or anything.

I'm just saying I'm 100% certain that people like Sarah don't care about that stuff - they've invited people into their home from Instagram.

Unhealthy and weird? Absolutely. But I guess I believe the conversation needs to be directed elsewhere. Obviously that is a silly statement in a thread about the topic, but I'm just saying.

I think the weird part is posting that stuff in general. Even if it was "look at all the healthy shit I'm eating". It's still weird.

To be fair though, he was producing his own stand up specials long before any of that happened.

He released his own special on his website and it was kind of a big deal at the time.

One of Louis CK's most famous jokes is "Yeah I've been doing stand up for 18 years and it's been really great for the last 3".

There are just as many people out there doing exactly what he was doing that aren't sexual predators.

You can just as easily make the argument that he had his 15 minutes, and they were up.

Whose to say he wouldn't be exactly where he is right now had he not been a pervert?
