Very funny and well worth the watch!

Wonder what happened to the guy that had the stolen computer in the end.....maybe we can check his Facebook page?! LOL.

That was disgraceful what the guy done (the guy posting it, not the thief). Hopefully he's in bed next time he gets burgled and gets beaten up... then he'll have another interesting story to tell all his loser friends.

How can you make the jump from that guys photos and info being on the laptop months later to saying he stole it in the first place, or even knew it was stolen?

The part that I found really distasteful was posting pictures of girls that had been sent to the guy. Now even if the guy did steal the laptop, and we could prove he did, what did those girls do to get private pictures broadcast to that audience?

Yes because most theft in civilized worlds are for drug money and he probably innocently purchased the Mac from ebay ???

hacking is still not frown upon enough and is hard for me to believe that the Police in the states didn't query this Guy's motives and the means in which he used to gain this information :shock:

Well the motives were pretty clear - get his own laptop back. The means also - since it was his own, he knew all the codes to get into it.

I don't think accessing it and snooping around to help get the thing back was wrong, he is the victim after all. But his actions after that with the girls photos were extremely poor, and solely done to get a giggle from all the conference nerds at her expense, even when knowing full well she had zero to do with any crime that had taken place.
