OK.. guy paid me with an 7" ipad.. don't think it's his.. can the owner lock it?

[ESFitness]

had a guy who'd owed me for weeks.. I tell him just make a fucking effort.. you've owed me x-amount for weeks, and yet I see you come in with a new phone, new shoes, it's disrespectful to me.. what am I supposed to think.. make a fucking effort to pay SOMETHING so I don't have to think you've stolen from me.

so he offers an ipad mini 7" thing.. I say, what the hell, sure...

now, I'm an android guy.. dunno shit about apple, I have an ipod touch, 2 ipod nanos, and a shuffle that I NEVER use... screens are too damn small compared to my phone....

so, I scroll through this ipad and see email and facebook stuff that isn't in this dudes name..

now, i'm not about to go and contact the person, because for all I know it was stolen and he's gonna call the cops and the cops are gonna ask me where I got it... and i'm not one to be talking to cops about anything, let alone telling them anything... EVER.

so, can the owner of this ipad trace it with GPS? or can he remotely lock it? I know they can track down iphone's with GPS.... or am I good to go with it?

it's not like I have much use for an ipad anyways, it's barely bigger than my phone.. and I use a laptop... and I'm not freakin paying for apple apps.... i'd probably just give it to my kids to use.

Dude, bad news. Lots of people have tracker/gps apps. I have one on my phone and my iPad. Especially if this is a Creatine related sale, this seems too risky to be worth fucking with.

By the way, how did it get to him owing you? Cash up front seems the best rule of thumb, no exceptions!

Can't you wipe the whole thing and essentially remove all those trackers?

Cutler is always looking for kitchen and landscaping and g4p help. Maybe this guy could work for Cutler and make enough in protein powder to sell on ebay and then pay you off.

I'm not a tech guy whatsoever.....can you?

nah, no creatine.. I hooked him up with a brand new inzer bench shirt, single prong belt and case of protein (4 pack).. gave me $50 up front and said he'd pay the rest later... i wasn't losing sleep over the money, it was the fact he just didn't "feel the need to pay me"... i'd known him for a while so didn't think it'd be an issue.

ipad's sure as hell ain't at my house. lol.

[stuntmovie]

Somewhat related ... I just bought an $80, Google, 7 inch 'thing' that looks and works similar to an iPad and just finished setting it up with my email address and credit card info.

That information is common in all these things so I have to assume that there would be some way to trace it.

Could  be wrong though because these things are new to me but  .... it works great!!!

Like my mom always said, "Never a lender or a borrower be." Seems like you trusted a pretty sleazy person to pay you what they owe you.

[POB]

Even with a hard reset and firmware changed apple can find it with the gps and iPad turned off. I'd get rid of that thing if you think it mite be stolen. Take that slackers new shoes and tell him you want your cash next week or your taking his new phone

Should have known better than to trust a known liar bench shirt user.

The shoes and the phone are probably hot. At least you can't track shoes.

[Natural Man]

Congratulations, you are a retard.

I guess they can track the IMEI number.

[Wolfox]

I'd never accept anything other than cash. To me it's insulting when someone tries to change a deal and trade stolen property instead of paying me my money.

[C-BuZz]

Yes you can. Once restored/wiped you can no longer track/find/locate it or whatever.

[ESFitness]

well, the likelihood me this dipshit accepting me returning it is slim.. and i'm never gonna get anything out of him.. so this is better than nothing.

and i'm 'retarded'? fuck your mother. how's that for 'retarded', chump?

if the guy said he couldn't pay and he was sorry, i'd have no problem.. it's the disrespect that gets me.... anybody's disrespect for that matter.

the money isn't the point, I won't go hungry over it and my lights will stay on... if I was RELYING on the cash, then maybe i'd be "retarded", but unlike you, i'm not a broke chump living check to check.

i'll leave it where it is until I can find out more about doing a hard reset.

[calfzilla]

So some guy gave you 7". Got it.

[Knooger]

I stole an iPad, can they catch me?

Maybe you should give it back to the guy he stole it from?

Didn't realize OP was a Hebrew.

[Money Man]

You say "I'm not a broke chump", but you have no problem stealing from another man. You are a chump, and a thief.
