Macbook Stolen In D1 - Help!

hey all
Mods id appreciate this being left here for a little while so people might see it.
My sister has just had her house entered and among some other stuff her macbook stolen. she is horrified because it has a huge amount of study and work data that she needs on it for her livelihood

Its a white 13inch macbook and the serial number is w89461n98px. If anyone here sees it somewhere or gets offered to buy it, could they please post or pm me.

Im sure some reward can be arranged.

That's pretty sh*t. Hope it turns up OP.

And ignore all the people who tell you she should have bought a PC...

Typical thieving, junky, Dublin scum.

Hope you find it. Although they have probably watched porn on it so you might want to desterilise the keyboard if you get it back. They probably also have an std.

not much to be done im afraid, you could try offering a reward with no questions asked if the data is that important.
but still, dublin 1....it could be anywhere by now.
maybe apple have some tricks up their sleeves, try their websites or helplines.

(maybe they could have something similar to a puk code to just disable it)
