Thief Returns Stolen Laptop Contents On USB Stick

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday October 19, 2010 @03:18AM from the it's-been-a-pleasure-being-your-victim dept.

While it's true that Sweden is responsible for unleashing IKEA and ABBA on humanity, not everything they produce is terrible. Their thieves are some of the most considerate in the world. An unnamed professor at Umeå University received a USB stick with all his data after his laptop was stolen. From the article: "The professor, who teaches at Umeå University in northern Sweden, was devastated when ten years of work stored on his laptop was stolen. But to his surprise, a week after the theft, the entire contents of his laptop were posted to him on a USB stick. 'I am very happy,' the unnamed professor told the local Västerbottens-Kuriren newspaper. 'This story makes me feel hope for humanity.'"

Seriously, if his data fitted on a USB stick, he could have at least used Mozy's free service to backup.
Guy deserved to have his data stay lost.

I would investigate the possibility that you may be a psychopath. At the very least you're a horrible ass and a poor excuse for a friend. I would much rather have this "stupid" friend than you in my life.
EXCUSE ME? Shove a dildo up your pee hole you cock-eyed son of a bitch!
