Message: <blockquote data-quote="inkedmongo" data-source="post: 2782963" data-attributes="member: 38772"><p>I worked for a computer store in Tulsa. A customer brought in a laptop that we outsourced to Apple for services. I called and made the appointment with Apple providing the serial number and information. I showed up at Apple to leave the computer for work and the police arrived and detained me. I was taken in to speak with a detective. He informed me that the laptop was taken from a home burglary that morning. I provided the information of where I work, the information of the person that brought it in, and video surveillance of the person bringing it in. They charged me with knowingly receiving stolen property, basically accusing me of knowing the laptop was stolen when I had no idea at all. Who in their right mind would call and provide serial numbers and information to show up with something they knew was stolen?  I spent over 3k in legal fees fighting it and completely ran out of money to go any further, so I had to endure a deferred probation of 2 years for something I didn't even do, not to mention over 80 hours of community service, court cost, fines, and the inconvenience of being treated like a felon for those 2 years. Now everything has been dismissed and expunged and having only an arrest but no convictions.</p></blockquote><p></p>
