don't want to be a downer but it is extremely unlikely the police will do anything about it. I had my close fried have their laptop stolen from their apartment (breaking and entering) and we gave the cops everything they could possibly need and they did nothing. I recommend you start looking at craigslist/offerup/Facebook marketplace to see if your laptop pops up there. I'd also recommend contacting apple to say your laptop got stolen to see if they can do anything to help or at least make sure that any info you have on iCloud is secure and that your laptop gets remotely wiped so that the thieves can't steal any personal info off of it. good luck, and sorry this happened to you

That’s unbelievable. You should buy lottery tickets lol. Very cool that sometimes the universe just works out like that, glad you got your stuff back.

“gave the cops everything they could possibly need”. So you provided a serial number and a receipt maybe? What else are the cops suppose to do? They check all the online re-selling markets already.

Unless there was some evidentiary value during the break in (unlikely) there is not much anyone can do. It’s not CSI.

Yes? I gave them all the info i had, and yea i expected the cops to do more than fuckall considering it was breaking and entering and stolen property valued in excess of 1000 USD, which is a felony on its own. Idk why you’re so bent out of shape about my comment sharing my experience lol

Who’s bent out of shape - I’m asking what else they could’ve done?
