Stolen U.C. Berkeley Laptop Recovered
linuxwrangler writes "Following up on a previous Slashdot story, the laptop with personal data on 98,000 former U.C. Berkeley grad students which was stolen in March has been recovered. Shuki Alburati, A San Francisco State freshman who makes money selling computers and cell-phones online, says he bought the laptop for $300 from a woman who fits the description of the suspect in the original theft. The drive was reformatted and investigators can't tell if the personal info was accessed but they have believed all along that the thief was only interested in the computer. Alburati, who says he was suspicious of someone looking to sell an expensive laptop so cheaply, nonetheless took the woman's word that laptop was not stolen. He then resold the laptop on eBay for $1,159 - just $18,805 short of his bail after police arrested him."
why the fuck is everybody so hypocritical about this post i would buy a 300 euro sold laptop which is worth >= 2000 euro fuck you even if it was stolen i just wouldnt let myself get caught whats this shit i mean if u saw a wallet and the wallet hides 200 euro in it i would take it take the money and bring the wallet to stolen & lost goods the guy would be happy enough to have his identification card (o wait u americans dont have that) and his creditcard back !!! and then im one of the good guys the bad guys would go out eat in fancy restaurants and deplete the credit card as well! so plz dont be so jerky, you would have bought it too its an awesome deal stolen or not capitalism works this way ! have u ever bought ganja, spliff, weed although its been legalised here for 3 years (no i'm not canadian nor am i a civilian of the nederlands, although nederlands is our neigbourcountry) but would u like to be prosecuted for worldwide softdrug smuggling as well coz u were aiding in distributing drugs !!! this is bullshit
I like how he uses a ludicrous strawman example and then (falsely) calls others on arguments he calls strawmen, but aren't.
He's a tool and a troll.
