If not from the App store, then there is no point in asking the hypothetical situation since Apple won't readily be able to figure that stuff out.

hum... Apple has everyone's App Store purchases... /me wonders (and scratch my head) can they tell if I have a paid app installs and no purchase history?

in this hypothetical situation, i wasn't asking if they would react if they found out someone was stealing, i was asking if they could tell if the applications where stolen if this person was to take there mac to apple.

No. I just closed the tread... I advice you use common sense.

After all, in that hypothetical situation, would you expect a company (from which you stole from) to repair your device without any consequences?
