bump since USD/XRP is about to hit another ATH...
As for the big companies you mentioned, I think they always try to protect all possible processes, whether it's production or repairs.
Not an excuse for Apple, as they themselves published the process on their own website, they just conveniently omitted that the customer would not be allowed to see it happen & witness no data exfiltration, only firmware password removal.
I wonder how corrupt law enforcement is, where OP lives. Theoretically they could have a safe meeting room inside the station & let the data recovery business be done there, then OP would split the ₿ between the watch-only addresses of their own & the data recovery person. Then after confirmation, both could be allowed to leave, and neither could rob each other immediately - they'd have to figure out where the private keys to the watch-only addresses are. Also, in case the data recovery fails, OP would pay them cash for their effort, which was double-counted & put in an envelope to the side before anything else.
I went to an Apple Store to have my computer's firmware password removed (had ownership paperwork & the root/only user password - but wanted to reformat the HD & put Linux on it for Blockstream satellite reception) & they refused to let me be present, would only take in the back, and get back to me sometime when it was done. Needless to say, I walked right back out with the computer.
There are data recovery services that, for a fee, allow the client to be present during the data recovery process, so I advise the OP, if he is telling the truth, to look for one and try to save his lost treasure.

Thanks for this forum game, wish I had logged in & seen it sooner!
Unfortunately the most bitcoin-related thing off the top of my head is anti-shipping as the satellite dish & mounting parts are big & heavy, and I specifically gathered together everything in that set for best value, never to be separated.
The second-most related thing is also anti-shipping though... an old PPC iMac that is effectively airgapped/optical or USB only, until the new owner gets the wired ethernet working again in Linux... which worked fine when I initially got it and it had whatever OSX version the previous owner left on it.

Re: Topping 2024's previous All-Time High for ₿-USD=free giveaway time!
Nobody can afford shipping labels?
I'll be in san diego next month if that counts
No.
