Because the person in the article left their laptop unregistered and unlocked on purpose. When it was stolen, the thief was able to register it as though it were brand new (which it basically was).
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoNope. From the article: "While the person didn’t reset it themselves, they did take it to a shop, and asked them to unlock it. The shop didn’t unlock it, however, they did reset it." So it WAS "locked." I don't know what you mean by "unregistered," either.
- microtherion 3y agoPresumably the computer had a password set. This makes it non-trivial for an unsophisticated thief to unlock it, but there is a documented procedure to do so if you know how to look it up: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102673 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102673
