Angry Stolen G5 PowerMac G5 Dual Core 2.3GHz
Good Afternoon

After purchasing a Dual Core G5, arranged transport with a freight company from Melbourne to Coffs Harbour. Today the Coffs Harbour depot advised the damaged, empty box had arrived minus the contents, tower, keyboard and Mighty Mouse, start up discs etc.

Have advised NSW Police and Apple Technical Support with details of serial number etc. Any other suggestions?

Can you claim on your freight insurance for theft or only for damage?

The thief is probably going "oh no, PPC"

Anyway claim it on insurance if possible.

Have a meeting with PackandSend Wednesday AM so will find out then. I know what the answer will be the way my luck is running, even with insurance paid at 4% of goods.

Sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to me last year. Hopefully you'll have everything straighten out.

Long shot - take the serial number to Apple Australia and ask for assistance tracing the IP next time the machine OS is updated.
At least lodge serial with Apple for any physical repairs.

There is usually an extra box to tick (and pay for) to get insurance, if you didn't tick that box and pay the fee, well your close to out of luck.

In normal situations, like when the package shows up busted, you get nothing if it wasn't insured. Your case may be a bit different since it has been opened and had the contents removed.

Phew! They didn't steal the box! It's weird when thieves steal something virtually useless and leave the most valuable things behind.

*tongue in cheek*

Did you buy it from a store? If so, what have they said they could do?
