would you buy a stolen laptop?

So I see a macbook pro and craigslist for a pretty good price, but it doesn't come with box or cd's or receipt.

I call the guy up and ask, and he's like that stuff (box + CD + receipt) got stolen from my car (haha yea rite), and he offers to lower the price.

Its an good deal, but I just can't bring myself to buy a stolen laptop.

$1,100 for 2gHz CD Macbook Pro
2GB ram.

I will admit I am tempted, but I won't do it.

i would, see no evil, hear no evil.

I'd do it. It already been stolen and will be sold to someone else anyway, might as well get a good deal. Just hope it wasn't stolen from one of your coworkers 🙂.

I wouldn't from an ethical perspective.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

wtf? how can he sell something if it was stolen from him? He offered a lower price than what... his asking price? I'm confused.

Oh wait, you mean the CD's and box and receipt got stolen? but not the computer? But of course.

Spring for it.

I wouldn't buy anything stolen that could be traced back to me.

 

[Midlander]

Nope. I wouldn't. For many reasons.

I wouldn't because who knows what's been done to it? If it was a snatch and grab, it might have been thrown around & need a new hard drive or superdrive. That + ethics (it would make me feel funny every once & a while) would make me pass.
