I’m sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.

How the hell do people get jobs online? I’ve only ever landed a job in person.

    Offer to buy or recycle #3.

    #2 parts like control boards and power supplies are worth money on ebay.

    #1 maybe crimestoppers money. See if you can get the serial number and check with the device manufacturer or the cops.

      Wait, you mean when I actually did track down exactly where a stolen computer came from, and spent an hour or so with the cops, you mean I could have actually gotten paid?

      Fuck, I had to wait on my boss to go on vacation before I even reported that shit (wasn’t the boss that stole it, but he requested me to unlock it for the thief customer).

        You can always use it as goodwill for your business. Take a selfie with the cops and make a facebook post like “Another stolen phone recovered thanks to the local pd!” People eat that shit up and it gives you some legitimacy and clout, maybe even a piece in the newspaper about how you just like helping the community.
