How do they over ride it without knowing your iCloud password?
Also, go 2016, new laptops are mint, just too expensive.... you might come out on top here.

My data is password protected so they can't go into my accounts etc, but all they need to do is to wipe the computer in Internet recovery and set the machine as brand new, bobs your uncle. I kind of knew it would be the case and then I spent an hour or so on the phone with Apple and they confirmed that it is the case - Find my Mac only works with iCloud logged in, and not the actual serial number of the machines, so as soon as a machine is wiped clean, it's bye bye forever... This also explains why my old iPhone and iPads were taken, because iCloud works much better with them and I can remotely brick them, totally different with a computer... so I was told by Apple...
Find my Mac hasn't been able to track neither of my Mac and it's been 3 weeks now, so I am pretty such they have been sold on now...
The insurer won't pay the full price of a new Pro, they will have to pay 100% for my Air as it's only about £800, but with the Pro they will only pay up to £1500 if I am lucky... A like to like specs replacement is about £2600 I think.
At least they are paying for my passport replacement and have waived the excess fees because it was a violent entrance...

Some twats broke into my flat and stolen my Macs along with many things. And Find my iPhone / Mac is, according to Apple, a joke... because all it takes is 10 seconds for someone who has my Macs to override it.
Been looking on ebay, gumtree, and local dodgy shops, anywhere I might see my Macs?
Anyway, this gives me time to think if I want to replace my Mac with the 2016 models, or am I better off insisting the insurer to look for the same 2015 model for me? or I might just switch to Window altogether...
