![]() There are a few ways you can attempt to figure out if a MacBook is stolen or just a really good deal. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t keep a list of lost and stolen MacBooks as some people may tell you, but you can use the serial number to check eligibility for AppleCare and to check with your local police. How to Check if a MacBook or MacBook Pro is Stolen If you are thinking of purchasing a used or second hand MacBook, you should take precautions to make sure you don’t end up with a stolen notebook that won’t be valid for warranty service and will likely be taken from you if it is discovered to be stolen property. The notebooks, valued at over $20,000 to $30,000, are arguably not for personal use and will likely join a large collection of stolen notebooks which are sold online and over classified services like Craigslist for a large discount. MacBooks and MacBook Pros arguably cost more than a Windows notebook, which means they are frequently the target of thieves like the trio that smashed into an Apple Store in Cleveland Ohio and made off with 24 MacBooks (and an iPod Touch) in 35 seconds.
