Question

Apple's LOST MODE. Something you need to know about.

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Dec 19, 2016 9:28AM PST

Read https://www.cnet.com/news/this-is-an-apple-store-being-robbed-in-12-seconds/ and this is from November 2016.

The products will be put in LOST MODE and unusable. That iPad that is on Ebay for 180 bucks? May look new but if a deal is too good to be true, it is.

Once in a while the forums get posts about getting stolen items working again. In such cases moderators usually sniff that out and send them back to the maker.

What do you think about LOST MODE?
