Anyone else see the contradiction in giving a presumed stolen piece of property as a church(I'm guessing Christian) gift?
I think the assumption that the laptop is stolen because it's in a pawn shop, is not always true. Pawnshops are usually under intense scrutiny by the local police just for this reason, and want nothing to do with stolen items. Too many stolen items and the shop will find itself shut down.

My question - What kind of rich, entitled church is this where people ask for computers as gifts?
