Thief Returns Stolen Laptop Contents On USB Stick

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.'"

Now if the thief had mailed the actual laptop back, with $100 cash for pain and suffering and then killed himself to make sure he never did it again, that would be progress.
My words exactly! But expect dumbfucks who sympathize with criminals to mod you down for writing this.
