Really wondering about what's stopping ppl outright stealing the computer

They have all your info, what you gonna do...start a new life in India under a false name to steal a pc?

Technically GN was able to rent a pc with a fake ID so... You could totally steal it, only problem would be the mailing address

Wait.....I can do that?

Probably a deposit for the value of the computer itself if it isn't returned or something.

If you could afford such a deposit, you would probably just buy a PC.

The GN video says they want a photocopy of your ID. They used a fake name so couldn't provide one. A few weeks later the PC showed up even though they didn't have a copy of the ID.
