It's not really the skill of the hacker (well, it is.... but), more than that, the incompetence of the thief.
Seriously, as if you would 'borrow' a computer and not do anything about the existing OS and poo poo installed on it. Especially because "he can't install new software because he doesn't have the admin password", lololol.
Backup reformat reinstall, that's the way.

Also, don't be an idiot and make two backups sticking them right next to each other. At the very least, take the effort to move one of them somewhere, even if it's into a cupboard. So that if your computer explodes, there's less chance of it destroying your second copy.
Also, he's way too paranoid.
And searching ebay, and craigslist, for months, lol.
i can't see the blockhead that 'borrowed' the computer even knowing what backup, reformat, reinstall means.
But i do agree he was way too dedicated to doing this :3

So that's why he looks so familiar. I've watched him a couple of times on Prototype This on Discovery Channel.

RE: Never mess with a hackers computer!
I heard about this before, I believe the guy bought the computer from someone. It's not his fault he bought 'borrowed' goods :/ Funny story though lol

RE: Never mess with a hackers computer!
did he get his Apple back,.?
%^^^[mickey]if that's true,. showing all the pics and personal stuff is't very nice,. imo,. the hacker also said going back on the web was difficult,. so this prob wasn't done by mvlin himself,. probably
anyway >>> justice!! ![Heyyou Heyyou](images/smilies/heyyou.gif)
