[QUOTE="DiadesSuk, post: 4919448, member: 91232"] 20 year It professional here. Word of advice to tell all your up and coming drivers and people in the warehouse: DONT STEAL TECHNOLOGY... If it connects to the internet, it has a mac address... Those are captured on EVERYTHING. We document ever mac address on everything for this very purpose.. Unless you know how to MAC spoof and most of these people have no clue what that even is, we dont shut the technology down.. I'm not 100% familiar with our relationship with ATT/Apple but if its anything like it is with laptop providers etc, all of these pieces of hardware want to connect to the WWW for updates and validations... If we privately flag that MAC as stolen, we would simple wait for it to be reported as activated and request the details.. This is why smart criminals no longer steal smartphones and stuff.. You're going to get caught.. Or the person you sold it to will and that typically leads LE back to the thief. [/QUOTE]
