hey -

amazon - told them the MacBook box was empty
yep I've used the MacBook, needed to so I could do SE on different sites lol
police - had one convo with them, said it happens a lot and they don't actually ever investigate (I am under the impression I could have done this using fake details to match amazon account as I reality I was reporting a crime and not handing any personal details that would be identifiable - eg. a homeless person would be able to do it because the police just asked for a location that "the crime" occurred more for formalities. I will call them later to get this report stricken off and say it has been dealt with id like to remove if possible)

Very nice indeed, no need to return empty box or anything ? Yeah it always seemed that the process around filing a police report was quite flimsy, great idea about calling them back and saying that the item was found. Never thought about that before. Good work !

No, no need for sending it, I think the asking for escalation over live chat was the driving force behind the refund, soon as they saw report they processed it.
are you doing orders in the uk?
