Dodgy dealing

According to the technicians, my MacBook Pro is not going to bounce back to full health after its coffee bath.

So with the insurance payout, I made the informed and sensible decision to get a replacement through a guy at work who knows a guy who knows a guy who can get me a really good deal... etc.

In a tiresomely predictable scenario, the guy's guy and my money and any laptops are, at the time of writing, nowhere to be found.

Uh-oh.
