Re: [Skunkworks] Stolen Laptop Notice
?This is what i vowed.
Never buy items off the street or from dubious sellers off river road or wabera (those idlers) Never buy items on offer with no legit documents (from those temporary shops) or from street.
Very very true. Its amazing how much things would change if everyone stopped buying stolen goods. This vice would barely be a problem. Sure, one can steal for personal use, but they would be done after a single crime. The fact that there is a market for stolen good is why these guys commit the crime over and over again. And because of that reason, I consider people who buy stolen properties worse that those who actually steal. And all the more reason why possession of stolen good should not be entertained legally. Should be punished as actual theft or even worse. Muriithi
If i cant authenticate the item - keep it?. Show me proof if the item you claim is yours or sold to you - otherwise i can do without it. Lastly - Trust God in all matters of purchases and not human being.
Kind Regards, Wilson./

I know a guy who knows a guy who overheard two chics say that they know a guy who said the new trend is to strip the stolen electronics for spare parts. These 'fundi's' make a killing selling these parts when they fix broken equipment and they lower the chance of being caught with the hot merchandise.

What if this guy wants to collect data of the owner so that he knows who to avoid? Or even possible fetch the password from the owner if the thing has bitlocker or boot password on it?
