I take issue with the fact that the company has any say in the matter at all, tbh. I dislike devices that phone home and can be disabled remotely as a matter of principle.

But you're right, in the end they are stolen goods.

What? How does that make any sense. Someone stole their property, it's still theirs, of course they have a say in what happens to it. "Finders Keepers" is not how the world works...

But they can also brick non-stolen equipment. I don't want a company to be able to remotely disable a device I own.
