That might be a little too obvious. Instead, I recommend editing the end of the logo. Who would tamper with a box full of Macbook Protein or Macbook Propane? What value could a box full of Macbook Protozoas or Macbook Proboscises possibly have? Then of course there's always...

Where I live it is too risky, but I can give you my work address and that might be better. I mean, if someone nabs it then we gotta decide if we want to screw around with a postal claim.

Do ... we want to screw around with a postal claim?

Also, we could fire off a claim and leave the Macbook out of it. You guys didn't know that you joined a splinter Mail Fraud BBS, but ya did, fuckers!

What if I just write "NOT A" with a Sharpie before the "Macbook Pro" logo?

It comes with it's own box, I was hoping I could just tape it up, slap an address on it and get it the hell outta here. Or is showing a "Macbook Pro" box too risky.

Yeaaaah I wouldn't do that.

Medium flat rate box from USPS and bubble wrap from Dollar General. That's like 15$ total shipping after purchasing.

I don't know what that means. I'll send it to you, and if it works and you feel like paying me, then whatever.

OK. How about this? Mailing stuff sucks. How about you get paid when it goes to the mail box center?

Sold.

$300? Pinback - $300?

Yeah I was about to say.. "Can't factory reset a Mac without the fahking password?! Hell no. Let me show you.. oh, Paul's got this."

The fawken HERO WE NEED.

I have a Macbook Pro that Truecar forgot to take back when I left. That was three years ago, I think we're clear.

Only problem is, I'm not sure how to get back into is, as I've lost all the passwords.

Yes. Terms can be talked.

Would you be willing to talk terms without knowing if you could ever log into it?

Let's get down to brass turkey here. I'm willing to make certain... allowances, based on the tenuous nature of the thing.

I guess it does seem possible after all. Thanks Google search.

Isn't there some bootstrap thingie that will work around the login?

Wow, you can't just format and reinstall like Windows? It that really true you can't do that without the password?

Ah fuck. The first piece shows them having already logged in.

Can we do a factory reset of it? Here is a video that maybe says how until Paul arrives and gives us the correct way forward:
