ULPT: Question r.e iPad at work!

Posted by Virtual-Platypus-403@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 18 comments

I was let go from a job a while back and in my anger I took a brand new iPad with me, it is unopened and as far as I know was never added to their intune and they never noticed it missing.

What are the chances of them finding out who is using it if they notice it missing in X amount of time?

It was never setup to MDM

You're good bro. Package never been opened so it's never been setup for tracking.

Was thinking about that. Wouldn’t you need the access to the physical device to enrol it into intune or any other mdm

If they have ABM they can still brick it. Unless they're totally incompetent I would assume that will happen shortly after they try to deploy it or do an asset recon.

I know I'm on the wrong sub for this but I wouldn't want to have any part of this personally. I'd probably just run it over to destroy it and take it somewhere that does ewaste recycling.

Chances are about 20%

If you're worried, your best best is to sell it

I did wonder about selling but if they never added to MDM would they have the chance to lock it still? I only Ask as if I sell it it could till be traced back to me

It might've been added to their apple business manager before purchase....

If you just took the device brand new, and it is in no way connected to the job, then you’re probably in the clear as long as you arent on camera. Id say give it the ol wait a month and sell it on fb marketplace

That was my original thought, but I’d hate to sell something, it then gets bricked snd the buyer comes back

You are in unethical pro tips.. selling and it getting bricked happens everyday by scammers online. Maybe you should ask the other sub

Well if they come back to me I get done so why would I do something so obvious?

Use a fake account to post, with a Google voice phone number and meet in public. If they have no way to contact you then they’re SOL. Also say cash only, or see if you can set whatever payment transfer to the temp phone number. Idk if that’s possible tho

So realistically then my options are to use it… but with nothing personably identifiable, like a burner Apple ID?

I don’t fancy selling somebody a brick

Sell it cheap to someone you hate
