Bought a Demo iPad Mini

[AlphaHumanus]

I bought an iPad Mini 4 this evening, through CL, and it turns out it’s probably stolen? Not really sure what I was thinking.

So it was new in package and the guy had a seemingly legit story. I didn’t examine close enough and the box says “Demo- not for resale.”

Works perfectly fine after a DFU restore, but when I check the serial, there’s no info on a purchase date.

What happens now? The police show up eventually, or Apple bricks it?

Some retailers are provided with "demo" (store display) units from Apple which come at a lower cost than the regular units. It's basically a standard issue iPad which comes pre-loaded with some demo apps and other useful stuff. I worked at an Apple retailer myself for many years and we sometimes sold these units off dirt cheap to regular customers after a new model was released, so I'm guessing that's what happened in your case. No need to worry

Doubt the police will show up and chance of Apple "bricking" the device is slim.

I think getting the demo OS replaced with a fresh OS via DFU was your biggest challenge. I wouldn't sweat over it
