    If you bought it from an authorized dealer on eBay, the chances of it being stolen property are nill.

    Well I bought mine used from Gumtree and even registered it on Lenovo's site with the serial number. If it was stolen I am sure they would have contacted me or sent in the plods...

    I brought straight from lenovo.com and it has Lenovo Singapore under Windows Vista OEM. It was shipped from Hong Kong or China too.

    Mine is also from Lenovo Singapore (XP Pro COA). Nothing to worry there.
