I instantly became suspicious when I returned home from work to receive an explanation of how a certain individual acted in an age-appropriate manner earlier in the day, which meant that I needed to fix a little problem. It would appear that Lisa was making an online purchase, left her credit card next to the computer for a few seconds while she went to the other room. (key ingredients to any fiasco around here.) Sure enough, she returned to find her card missing, and a cheerful voice talking about "watching a videlo". Yep: Card inserted into the disc slot on the good 'ol Macbook.
The surgical procedure to remedy the situation is documented here for posterity.
| Locate disc slot where credit card is purported to be. |
| Remove outer cover to laptop in question. |
![]() |
| Visibly locate card by following cries for help. |
| After wondering what else I could have been doing with the time it took to get a credit card out of a laptop, use non-Apple approved methods to ease out the card enough to get a grip on it. |
| Voila! The card is out safe, and the culprit knows that the laptop is not to be used as an ATM. |

Oh my goodness!!!
