My 17" PowerBook has been stolen from my car today. It has the serial
number W8543EP5SX0.
The insurance will pay, the police will not search for it - what can I
do to spoil the new owner's delight?
eg how to get ebay to watch?
TIA

Watch ebay for this model. If one shows up email the seller requesting
the serial number. Say there is a recall on certain numbers and you
want to know if that unit is in the recall. Say something clever like
"I want it if its number is within the range xxxyyyzzz (a range yours
is in) but I don't want it if it is out of range since they didn't have
the xxxx video chips.
I don't think ebay can do a thing because no one has to give them the
serail number on anything, and they cannot request it.

Thanks for helpful advice. I'll check.
