    Sounds very much like a registered sex offender. If he had been caught with a laptop, he probably would have been sent back to prison. (I'm familiar with this because the brother of a friend has been in and out of prison over the past 10 years for violations of his sex offender status. He isn't even permitted to borrow "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on DVD from the local library, because the main character is supposed to be a high school girl.)

    The laptop may not have been stolen, but I think that your friend did the safe thing.
    And if he was a registered sex offender, and it sounds like he was, I'll bet the NSA is probably monitoring that computer via the internet....

    but he costed me a really nice laptop though by being concerned about what may or may not be on it. now i am stuck with a slower lightweight laptop to carry around all day. kinda wanted to be carrying 10 to 12 pounds around on the back all day

    Errr...seems to me this conversation has wandered a bit far afield. Dodgy dudes with excellent laptops notwithstanding, hope things are going OK with your Lenovo @KC9MSG!

    will never find another 17 inch laptop with an i7 and 16gb of ram and 2 750gb ssd drives for $75.00 again. that alone would have been worth the risk of anything

    I wasn't going to respond, but if any federal agency was monitoring a laptop associated with a sex offender, it should have been the FBI.

    You're OK with buying stolen laptops?

    really dont think it was stolen he had the original box and documentation, now it may have been used for other illegal activities like what he most likely was arrested for.... cops cannot do a thing to me even if it was and if they try it is a major lawsuit for the department.

    it is very unlikely there will ever be another one for sale with those specs for that price... which means i will have to continue using one that is maybe a second slower with no touch pad, only the lenovo track point or have to use even more effort and use the bluetooth mouse and have one that weighs 3 pounds instead of 12 to be carrying around all day plus it never gets over 100 degrees when i use it on my lap, the i7 probably be over 130 using it on the lap like my friends hp i7 is.

    Sounds like it wasn't stolen.

    If the owner was a sex offender, he is forbidden internet access of any kind. No PC, no tablet, no smartphone. No visits to the public library.

    Threatening lawsuits is good. Getting them to take you seriously is harder, especially if you're a minor.
