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...
