I'm quite happy that thieves can't get into my iPad.
There are places to buy used Apple products where you'd never run into dark corners of Craigslist. Like Amazon, where sellers don't get their money until the buyer is satisfied (or after a couple of weeks have passed, because buyer's can be idiots).
So, if you purchased your iPad legally and ethically, you wouldn't be complaining. I personally have zero sympathy for all of you. It protects the vast majority of iPad users who don't want their stuff to end up on Craigslist.
I no longer have the device. I gave it to a friend who sent it to her mother in Italy. It's an old iPad1- the original. She just want to read email. Another friend is helping her connecting to iTunes to get it set up and it won't let them. So you're saying I should send them my Apple ID to log in & remove? That doesn't sound like a great idea. I deleted the device in iTunes (under the devices allowed to access content) and in iCloud. That should be enough! Ridiculous that Apple essentially bricked this device when I cleared it at my end.
