    Usually when these people do high profile robberies like these they dont sell the goods immediately. They wait at least a couple of months (enough time for most people to forget about it), then they sell them cheap enough to get them off their hands quickly. Last year there was someone selling brand new Toshiba laptops for $20,000, and from what I heard they went like hot bread. So they can very well sell 120 without the police catching on.

    That's very true, it's only if you can prove that you did due diligence before buying the items that you will get off.

    stripes? you feel say govt have money fi waste pon prisoner clothes? or you pick out a personal tailer for prison? i say, if you buying anything and you suspect it, get a reciept. simple. and if possible, try to trace the serial #... electronics are funny like that. i dont know what the full course of action is that one would have to take to be in the clear, but chances are, even with a reciept your goods can still be confiscated.. and that means money lost... with the possibility of having to llink Max's tailor .

    if there is anyone here with connections to the company that was originally importing the machines, encourage them to post the make, models and serial numbers of the 120 machines here. Let's do what we can to make it difficult for these robbers to get away with this.

    Yea I agree...if the company publishes the detailed description (including serial numbers) of the laptops, no way they can sell without ppl having a good chance of knowing where they got them from. The most they could do is physically remove the numbers which will look suspicious in itself
