That would be awesome marketing, but wouldn't that involve intentionally leaving a MacBook to get stolen somewhere in Oakland?

I think it would be a lot easier/cheaper to pay someone to pose as the thief...
Really? Leaving a macbook unattended in Oakland for about 5 minutes doesn't seem that hard.
Versus having a coworker (or actor) take a few photos with it, and never having it stolen?
at the risk of being pedantic; yes.
Just wanted to come back and gloat a little bit. Downvoters, guess you were wrong.
