List of Mac numbers in case of stealing?

    I have a friend who was offered a suspiciously cheap Mac (in America). She was worried that it might be hot, but didn't know how to find out.

    I thought there was a list of numbers somewhere online where you could register your stolen Mac, but when I went looking, couldn't find it. Am I dreaming, or did this once exist and has now ceased to be?

    Not too sure about this, I know some software companies that do tracking software for laptops...
    But anyway if its "suspiciously cheap" there is probably a good reason.
    If it sounds too good to be true it usually is....

    She didn't buy it, luckily.

    No, this wasn't sofware tracking, it was some record of the actual serial number - but I'm remembering back around 12 years here.
