IPad Stolen

So I went up to my home mountain today for our park jam today, when I was fully finished I went down to leave. As I was packing up I realized my ipad and 2 Gatorades were gone. I thought maybe my friend/parent had took it but nobody did. It really sucks because well the ipad is worth $500 plus and I can't even be stoked about what I did today

So, what could I do, any help and advice as to what I should do is really appreciated. thanks

hahahahaha. But I do agree with you I am also not connecting the dots as to how he ascertained the identity and location of the thief in question from the clue of "Toby's iPad". Clearly OP is the second coming of Sherlock Holmes

You can use an app that locates it via gps

he said that it was offline, which means you can't check it.

Didn't he say that the kid turned it off or some shit? Or when the kid changed the name on the iPad it caused it to turn on so he could find where he lived? Now that would make sense...

yes it WAS but at 6 this morning he turned on wifi, ipad was located and locked, it is now useless, so on top of that a police officer will arrive at his house in a few minutes so he has to explain to mommy and daddy why he's being arrested/ or if he's under 16 he gets something else..a pretty shitty day for him..ha!!

First of all a cop is going to need a warrant to go in the house, Which is a shit load of work and I doubt they're going to do it because some spoiled little rich kid Left his iPad unattended At the ski resort. Second of all At my high school cell phones Were stolen all the time and when kids would report to the police they would basically laugh saying they're not going to turn the GPS to a cell phone on to locate it because you got it stolen (i know they already did it for you apple products may be a different story). exact quote "If you were kidnapped and hidden in the trunk of a car it would be a different story." Enjoy charging a 16-year-old with petty larceny. He's got to get at least 30 hours of community service.

You better hope he is actually a kid and his parents hammer him to make him confess. Because all he has to do is open the door tell the officer he has no idea what he is talking about. Kid tells the officer u can't come in unless you have a warrant, officer gives him an empty threat then its gg cuz he leaves.

He's asking questions, and will get the iPad, I won it, I'm not a spoiled rich kid, and I don't give a shit what he gets as long as he regrets it and has to suffer the consequences, hopefully he's over 16

I think you're looking for the term 18 Don't really know why you keep saying the age of 16 matters. He's going to be charged as a minor and it's going to be kept off his record if he's 16. Also if the kid has any brains will just say he bought it from someone in the parking lot. And you're a kid who brought a $500 iPad to a ski mountain just to use it. Whether you're rich or not what you think the police will think?

You're kind of being a massive cunt about this. I mean, was OP stupid to A) bring an iPad to the mountain and B) leave said iPad unattended? Yes. But you're making it seem like he's an asshole for trying to get it back. If you're shit got stolen you wouldn't get it back? And I'm all for justice in the form of an ass kicking, but in this case I would call the cops too so the person that stole it gets in as much trouble as possible for being a thief.

Plus, doesn't that app have an alarm you can set off? Set it off when the cop shows up so he'll know it's there. AND, if you had any brains you would know that you get into a heap of shit for buying stolen items too.

op, hope you get your iPad back. And when you do, leave the fucking thing at home haha

thank you, and I'll probably sell it, too much money to worry about, and exactly, going to his house and fighting him would get me in trouble, no ipad and the stupider alternative

I know the kid's parents names, his name, his exact address and just waiting for a phone call from the police, I'll post back when said phone call is received

How? The police wouldn't just willingly give you this information, even if they believed your story and knew 100% that it was the guy who took your iPad. How are you just magically getting all this personal information?

He is being stupid about geting back because he spewing all the wrong leagal information out of his mouth. "I hope he's older than 16" he making it sound like the cops are gonna kick in his door to get back his iPad because he's so importaint, and the kid is gonna suffer. Yes I've had shit stolen from me from kids in my town and I've taken care if it myself I've never had the police involved. Then again I was never dumb enugh to get anything worth that much stolen from me. Plus I didn't like the op before this he acts like he's this bad ass then goes running to the police and daddy as soon as something goes wrong. From: Shy_Guy

kid gets ipad beat from mountain. turns on findmyipad or whatever app that is. however, ipad is off (this all happens yesterday). this morning, dad checks on app, at 6am thief turns on ipad and wifi, app picks this up. he renames the ipad toby's ipad. findmyipad can track where exactly your device is. take coordinates and put them into google maps can give you the address. search address on google, maybe get parents names? assume kid is dipshit so assume first name is toby. I know my town has a property record of everything online. maybe this dude typed in the address and got last names?

internet is krz these days

oh I just assumed this dude had it on there and set up "check from computer" or whatever.

I did that for my iphone, but I don't have icloud so it's useless. I can use my phone to findmyiphone, but not my macbook. not sure why they would even have that setting...

lol. Le'ts recount the facts so far.

-OP has iPad stolen yesterday afternoon

-First contact with police...OP already knows kid's name, address, parents' names, number of pets, type of cars they own, favorite color, etc

-State Police apparently has nothing better to do and is in personal contact with the OP, has located the iPad, has time to go to the kid's house, question him, arrest him, and reclaim the iPad within less than 24 hours.

-OP keeps talking about how he hopes the kid is 16...kid happens to be exactly 16. Wow, nice!

-OP's dad apparently wants to let the kid go. WATCH OUT, OP COMIN THROUGH! PRESS CHARGES ON THAT KID RIGHT AWAY! "Yes, sir!, Right away, sir!" says the police officer.

-Yay! Success! iPad miraculously reclaimed!

Pics or it didn't happen.

yeah the part of where he was exactly 16 was weird I guess, but you think I staged this? what?

I hate how you post like that, you lie/add things I never said and exaggerate it to a whole new level, I contacted police today and new nothing about their parents until a couple hours ago you seriously are retarded the police even said your ipad is last priority, i was in the police car talking to him giving my info/statment/whatever

And of course I'm pressing charges, this kid is probably a scumbag thinking he do whatever he wants, if I let him go he'll keep stealing, pressing charges makes him think of how serious of and issue it is, and wat the fuck kind of pictures do you want? i'm sure the state trooper would mind me taking a picture of him, and I'm not taking pictures of my icloud/his location for obvious reasons

I don't care think it's a lie, I don't care. and I'm actually thinking about not pressing charges because of his future life, I just want him to realize that stealing is a big deal

Look at that op is wrong again. The day you turn 18 your criminal record is wiped and you start with a clean one. But I didn't expect you to know that because you're dumb as fuck.

Ok but there are a few flaws in your post,

-Ipad got stolen
-Used Icloud to track down his ipad via gps and find out ipad was changed to Tobys Ipad
-pinpoints location via google maps
-gets ady of the house where ipad is at via google maps
-Figures out parents names and information via phonebook or google
-"hello, police? I have located over $500 worth of stolen property and know where it is being held via tracking app"
-KNOCK KNOCK "Excuse mr and mrs ____, we have tracked stolen property to this location, under the name toby"
-Parents would be like wtf toby youre fucked now

And again he'll be treated as a minor so he won't get any punishment it's his First charge and I believe in the state of New York it's a class Petty theft is a class A misdemeanor, thats 70 hours community service Max, and Maybe a few months of probation and that's Maximum punishment as in he doesn't hire a lawyer. Again i know you lnow none of this because you're dumb as fuck.
