Why ? Because people around here are casual users, most can't even troubleshoot wifi 6 let alone help someone catch a thief through a shutdown iPad.


not really bothered to catch a thief TBH
if they feel the need to steal and keep someone’s else property so be it.

quick question thou

to keep the iPad activation locked I take it I have to keep it listed under my devices and I don’t remove it from my Apple ID
