any company lease info on it?
only other option is to hope he registered it with the manufacturer and call them with the serial number. |

I would be willing to get in to it to see if we could find owner information. Where are you?

just for grins if it is a corp laptop you might want to try the standard administrator as the user and the serial number (not case sensitive) as the password. :)

Its a rather new machine. A large HP running Windows 7. It had a T-Mobile Aircard in it but T-Mobile is not willing to provide me with the owners contact info.
It does have a serial number on the bottom side. It also has one of those fingerprint swipey access points too. It does not appear to be a corporate machine. I live on Lake Hartwell now. Right on the South Carolina line. |

Just report it to the airport police and TSA. The guy will definitely try to find it there first. The airport also has a Lost and Found department within the airport.
Just leave your name and number with each of those. If nobody calls you in 90 days, it is yours. Without documentation of reporting it, you could get in trouble. But if you document it that you tried everything to find the owner, it will be yours. Then just format it, reload an OS and enjoy. But definitely start with the police, lost and found, and TSA. |

More than likely the hard drive in it is a 2.5" SATA drive. If you have a desktop with spare SATA ports you could pull the hard drive and plug it into your desktop. More than likely they do not have the drive encrypted so you should be able to get something. This is of course why my laptop has a 1.8" ZIF connector - who the hell is going to be able to read that? :-)

Us "low life" pawnbrokers use things like these to get the passwords...
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/gr/ophcrack.htm - shows all accounts logon passwords - worked for me on Win7 32 & 64 bit systems. http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/ - bypasses the windoze login at bootup If it has a hard drive password, the only option is to replace the drive - ask me how I learned that one! |

If it hasn't been stated:
Get service tag/serial from bottom label. Call HP. They probably won't give you any info, but they should have the original buyer in the database. Tell them what is happening, and they should contact that person. Unless this system was bought secondhand, you might can have them contact "Dave" and let "Dave" know you have it. |

I never said an officer let me maintain property. I found the laptop in the parking deck at midnight. I took it with me. The following day I called the airport and the police. None of them could give me any solid information other than to bring it to them. I no longer live close to the airport. I'm 3 hours away. I left my contact information with them and told them I would mail it next week. They said they would store it amongst the other hundreds of laptops they have. I hate that since I know it will never get returned to the owner. They told me to mail it in. They didn't want me to send in any info or anything. They said they would handle it.It will end up in the Abyss. If it were me I'd be thankful that someone tried to return it. Regardless of how they went about it.
Pawn shops don't operate off of NCIC/GCIC. They report to the local authorities every day with a report of goods. That system only works if there are serial numbers. Most of the time, if the pawn shop has something that was stolen, it is never found til it is too late if at all. |

I hope you find the owner and give it back to him. I know if it were mine, I'd be giddier than a school girl if some individual took the time to find the owner. TBH I'd rather have an individual "invade my privacy" on my laptop than the police, or any government agency for that matter. Plus despite my name as the owner, I try not to store any sensitive information on my laptop just for this reason. I use my PC tower for all my sensitive information, which is mostly porn and video games lol

Most of the time, if the pawn shop has something that was stolen, it is never found til it is too late if at all. There is a serial number on the laptop correct? You may have talked to lost and found at the airport but I again state that the police are REQUIRED to list the laptop....you can follow up on it to assure they do as the complainant. Write down the info on the computer and continue to give the info to lost and found or post on craigslist or whatever else. If I was the guy that lost it I would have been calling the airport and the local police to file a report for the missing item....and serial numbers for high end laptops are quite easy to find off boxes, receipts, and warranties. I realize that pawn tickets are collected and ran during the course of a week or other period on NCIC, generally by an investigator that is assigned that duty regularly ( to be more clear, checked through the same system...not ran by the pawn shop itself). Pawn shops are not allowed to take property with elemenated serial numbers (although the crooked ones do) Just try to get it in and FOLLOW up to make sure it was listed if you desire to get it back to the owner. You don't need the extra crap this could bring by going about it the wrong way...it's happened to people. |

I've dealt with the police on two seperate occassions when property of mine was stolen. I was less than impressed. They didn't pursue jack and, in one case, I even told them which pawn shop had my stuff. If he turns the laptop over to the police, it will never be returned to it's owner. Did you have your serial numbers? Or was it Jewelry? Did you get a copy of the report and follow ups to see what was done? It was band equipment stolen from a practice room and I found some of the nonserialized items in a nearby pawn shop the next morning. I knew the other items were likely to be in the back waiting to be processed. It was a Saturday morning and when I called the police they said an investigator would be assigned on Monday. The investigator never did anything with the information and my property was never recovered. The second incident was when someone stole the stereo out of my truck while it was sitting in my driveway. The responding officer said there was nothing they could do and they didn't even so much as take a serial number. If he turns the laptop in, it will sit in a police station from now until the end of time. |

Well it seams you were the victim of lazy officers....I have adifferent perspective on it...the only thing ever stolen from me was recovered and returned...a Bersa Thunder .380. Next time make them take the serial number...it's not up to them. What jsuridiction are we talking about? If they did this they need to be called out....it was wrong. |
