I was gonna purchase a MacBook Pro from a friend but was wondering how to check to see if it’s stolen or not?

You’re better off purchasing directly from an Apple retail store to avoid the numerous potential issues you may face!


Shop one-on-one with a Specialist at an Apple Store.

See this non-Apple Support link for some good advice. If the Mac doesn't open to the Hello Page - DON'T BUY IT.
