What happens if a lost or stolen device is sold to you?

Computer Overhauls fully complies with law enforcement in the event something sold to us is reported as a lost or stolen item. We upload our inventory daily into a national database, providing the serial number and a photo of the seller's ID. If an item is flagged, we are notified by the police and then work with them to resolve the issue.

We use CheckMEND, a state-of-the-art tool that includes information from carriers, law enforcement and insurance companies to identify whether a device has been reported either lost or stolen.

CheckMEND is a cutting-edge tool designed to more accurately detect potentially stolen goods, including smartphones, tablets and computers. Developed by Recipero, the largest U.S. consumer electronics background report service, CheckMEND compiles data from major wireless carriers, law enforcement and insurance companies across the country (including the FBI) to provide the most complete database of lost or stolen devices.
