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."
uhh ... that must be some good weed ...
I just noticed, when replying to someone, that you are running this lovely side-commentary about my posts. Being clearly too cowardly to actually confront me directly, you are reduced to making these nebulous snide remarks, without actually having to present any logical arguments.
And then, you, who are engaged in this utterly childlish and dishonest activity, dare to call me a "troll".
That is, in addition to accusing some random bystanders of being me in disguise. Which only exposes the very conceited way in which your rotten psyche operates. You simply assumed that I would be engaged in something you would do and thus are projecting your ways onto me.
I hear thieves are always whining that people are stealing from them, and seeing themselves as "victims" of theft, are, in their convoluted way, "justifying" to themselves their thievish ways.
Ponder that. It might do you some good.
