Some people belief that laptop thefts just happen to other people and it can’t be done to them. It normally happens in the films and in real life, it is not possible to grab whole Apple book. This is called Apple picking’.
It’s happening in many major cities, like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. Whenever you face such type of shocking situation when you have been robbed and so what should you do while you wait for law enforcement personnel to come and investigate the crime?
Apple gives its user a solution for such type of problem. There are two services “Find My Mac” or “Find My iPhone” services inside Apple. Because accidents and negative things happen daily, you can’t trust much that you are going safe out and return safe.
