If someone was trying to steal any material object from me at gunpoint, they can have it (I can alwasy replace a phone). But I know they at least won't get any of my information that is on it. I sell you my used MacBook Pro for $2000, you don't request a notarized receipt of purchase. I claim the machine stolen, perhaps I get the machine back and keep the $2000 I claim I never got, you go to jail or perhaps I claim I only let you borrow it in order for you to keep your mouth shut.
You take me to small claims court perhaps, but can't prove the transaction took place or your version of events are true as you had no witnesses and no receipt. I sue you for slander and make even more money off you. You expect Apple to get legally involved and make a judgement who the machine really belongs too once it exits their Stores? You want everyone to record their hardware resales to Apple and have to pay a title fee just like one does for expensive vehicles just because you can't properly secure a mere few thousand dollar or less if used machine? Your asking Apple to get involved in the enforcement business which usually angers someone in the end and brings trouble to them? Protect your stuff from being stolen in the first place, prevention is simpler than cure. Ok thank you ds store for your reply.
Ok mobile phone have an IEMI number it your have your handset stolen your carrier can bar and blacklist it. So this stops people calling out which works on the sim and locks the handset. If I sold you a mobile phone on Ebay you could pay for it and then as you cant transfer the ownership of the phone I could call up and then get it blacklist! So it works with mobile phones but not computer. Apple will know when you have apple care on your mac via the Serial Number but they cant see if it has been reported stolen, so in turn the thieve could have there mac repaired and fixed.

On the other hand a computer can last five or more years and is often resold. Thus the problem of people not covering their legal behinds which prevents Apple from instituting a registration system to transfer ownership. Then there is the factor what plagues even registered vehicles, that people steal them and strip them for parts. People are very creative in crime, the object is to think like they do and don't let a opportunity exist because it will be taken advantage of. You sit your computer down in a Starbucks and go take a leak assuming everyone there has computers and won't steal yours, think again.

That's already implemented with Filevault and firmware passwords and hasn't stopped anyone from stealing them and taking them to a crooked geek who fixes it so it works enough to sell in a foreign country.
If one has backups of their data, then it's no loss really. It's the value of the hardware that the thieves are after, if there is bonus MP3's and any other data to make money from or sell, then that's just gravy. If I tell you it was stolen at gun point, how would you protect it? Don't carry it around advertising the fact you have valuables. It could have been a diamond ring, or a gold chain or anything else perceived as value. Heck people get robbed of their laundry detergent because it's so easily sold back to crooked store owners or the poor for crack. Most anyone with big enough nerve to rob you of your machine is certainly not going to turn it on so it can be tracked.
It will sit someplace for quite some time as it cools, it's battery will likely die and it will be bundled up and shipped with other stolen goods to a foreign country, the storage drive wiped and sold locally. Even if you saw it on the Internet, you wouldn't want to spend the time and money to get it back, or really want it back. Sorry you got robbed, but it really can happen to anyone and there is little that can be done to prevent it actually unless you hire bodyguards and travel in a bullet proof car and all that jazz. Michael Black wrote: For me I'm not really thinking about the theft of the device per se but I do not want my info stolen. I can easily replace the phone itself but compromised identity information is much harder to correct. Don't put anything on any machine you don't want others to have or not willing to show others. Plan for your identity being stolen and minimize it's potential impact.
Crime is taking advantage of a opportunity, there are people who walk around all day and do nothing but take advantage of others weaknesses. Apple Footer.
