Stolen Ipad

Today may 29th 2010 My Ipad was stolen from my car,its less than 10 days old.I was at the mall where they have an apple store>I confidently walked back into the mall heading to the apple store knowing for a fact that apple will help me and the police(i filed a police report) to locate the stolen Ipad since it has a built in GPS and i have the serial number.They furiously refused and very coldly and carelessly said that they do not do that and they dont even have any database for stolen apple products and they will not track my ipad what so ever.I sware to god they did not even say sorry for my loss.Here iam walking to the apple store with all confident and hope only to face the harsh fact that really they didn't care.Eventhough they can help and they can track and they have the capability to but they wont. Worse thing is it isn't my ipad and i have to pay for new one now that i cant afford.Thank you Apple.

Well, I hate to pour it on but, unfortunately, you were in possession of stolen property and you've got the short end of the stick. I can not imagine how you could possibly recover the money that you paid for it.

I know i wonder if ebay buyer protection might cover it.

Not to be critical, but you took the risk of buying one on eBay from someone you didn't know to save $49?

Nah not really but still.. I mean the fact of it all happening

I feel bad for you. Learn from this lesson....don't buy anything on eBay from a seller who does not have a stellar reputation ....lots of great feedback from other buyers on other sales and a five ( or at least 4) star rating.

Thats the thing He had 100% positive ratings and everything and sold over 1000 items..

Definitely worth taking up with EBay then. Not sure if it will do any good, but worth a shot.

Feb 4, 2011 5:09 AM in response to marconiusrex

Again just curious, but with this type of eBay reputation what did the vendor say when your girlfriend told him the iPad she purchased turned out to be stolen?

Feb 4, 2011 10:38 AM in response to deggie

Good point deggie. At the very least he should leave a 1 star feedback for this seller on ebay letting others know that "He sells stolen merchandise....DO NOT BUY FROM!" Or he could contact the seller and tell him that he'll do this if the Seller does not refund his money.
