Classic: Bill MacEwen’s laptop got stolen last week, but all might not be lost. (via Mefi)
Someone in possession of the laptop — possibly the thief — just posted a self-portrait to Flickr using the account stored in the laptop.
If you know anything about the gentleman in the photo, please contact Bill through his blog. If you like to fantasize about committing "the perfect crime", add this boo-boo to your "DO NOT DO" list.
In the future, you might want to look into Undercover, which does all kinds of fun spy stuff when your MacBook gets stolen — including video so you can see what the asshole that robbed you looks like. I would be nice to at least print out a dart-board portrait even if seeing him doesn’t really help much (that is, unless it was stolen by someone you know).
While all the cool spy features of Undercover are neato, I question whether they will actually bring up the odds that you will recover your precious dataz. There have, however, been some recovery stories. So I guess it does work sometimes.
The good news is, the Goons are on the case (SA account required).
Update: Looks like there are photos of this douchenozzle here and even video here. This is fun.
