What was taken to the repair shop to be repaired if the laptop does not exist? Perhaps its been destroyed or 'lost' but surely it existed at one time - the receipts and notifications (submitted as evidence in court) specify the serial number and make/model of the laptop.
With that understanding, you can clone a disk pretty easily with hardware devices that are specifically designed for this task. They arent rare or expensive to source, and repair shops are likely to have these + spare disks to use as the destination media.
Sure an icloud backup is possible and feasible, but that doesn't negate or disprove the device itself.
