#How to buy a macbook on craigslist serial number

So, I'm hoping something positive will come of this situation. Does anybody have any advice on what to do? I'm out about 1700, and am having a hard time not feeling really angry. Also, why would the store have record of it being stolen, but not Applecare? I feel totally mislead by Apple. He told me to call back Monday morning.Дoes anybody know why Applecare telephone support had no record of the theft, and why they informed me the computer was safe. He gave me a case number and noted everything I had told him. Feeling sick to my stomach, I asked him how this could be. He also informed me that he had no way of telling if computer was stolen.

#How to buy a macbook on craigslist serial number

The rep ran the serial number again, and said it had no notes/flags. I then called Applecare back and explained what happened.

I was in total shock! I explained what happened, and he was sensitive to the situation, but said his hands were tied. To make a long story short, after running the serial number, the Genius informed me that the computer had been stolen from another Apple store and called his manager! The manager said he would need to keep the computer, and said I would be contacted from the theft/loss division. I decided to make an appointment at the Apple store with the Genius bar. Today I was having some issues with screen flicker. I then took the computer home and registered it via the Apple website. Feeling confident that I was making a safe purchase, I met the seller a local coffee shop and bought the computer. She told me that I should have no problems. She also informed me that the computer had not been registered, and had no notes whatsoever. The representative I spoke with at Applecare informed me that the computer was purchased about 1 month prior, and had not been flagged for any reason. I wanted to make sure it was not stolen, or had any other issues. Before purchasing I asked him for the serial number in order to check it with Apple. I purchased a macbook pro yesterday from a person on craigslist. So, I'm new to this forum and need some advice.
