Man tracks stolen MacBook with anti-theft application

"He originally took the evidence to the police, but due to resource restrictions, they were unable to help him even though he had photos of somebody using his MacBook."

They were probably too busy enforcing pointless moralist laws to bother with any kind of "serving" or "protecting".

the guy looks more like a lonely loser than a thief

Send that guy to GITMO and water board him.

I'm with Killer on this one... Couldn't believe the bullshit excuse the police gave the victim for not busting the thief... "Resource Restrictions"? What the hell does that mean? At what time does law enforcement "not" have resources to enforce the law?

The weasel that stole his laptop doesn't look like he was down trodden enough he couldn't afford his own laptop of some sort on his own, so busting his ass to the fullest extent of the law for good old fashioned prison bitch time will be good for him. You know, 90 days or so should be sufficient.

It's not like he was so poor that he had to steal the computer for bread to feed his family. No, he needed something for his unbridled porn goodness. Hope the poor victim busted out the industrial acid wet-naps and sterilized that keyboard of all the crusties before he started typing again.

F^&##n nasty bastard...

You know, this is one of the reasons why I think that people tend to take the law into their own hands, because the law doesn't seem to give a damn about the victim anymore, and are more intent of protecting the accused. LordRuss is right, Resource Restrictions? The hell?! - BLUEBOY

It's getting to the point where our society is going to out "better" ourselves into extinction. Or basically, we're going to contradict our judicial and moral system to a point that we can't move to protect ourselves much less anyone else.

It's not exactly a theory I can explain in one little comment, but if anyone here in the US has heard of the man drowning in San Fransisco while four separate rescue departments literally stood and watched (about 2/3 days ago) all for literally legal and training reasons, maybe you could help reflect on the concept I'm trying to expand on here.

If ever there were a time as a society and a culture we might want to back slide a bunch, NOW would probably be a great time for it.

When a corporation loses an item like an iphone prototype for example, the police take over the residence of a citizen with swat team force to retrieve it. Funny how that works...

When you can afford to pay for or some would use the euphemism "grease the wheels" of justice, then pushing for priority or simply abusing the judicial system for your own gains leaves the rest of the world in actual NEED of help; sucking the hind tit (if I could leave that as another euphemism).

Obviously, that's why politics & money go hand in hand. Justice 'really' doesn't exist any more. Not in the US anyway; I can't speak for other nations, but I'm sure some folks may echo a similarity.

I'm writing a blog with a myriad of stuff reflecting what you folks here have said & what has happened in my life. Give it a look here about Sunday & leave a comment on the site ("that" site, not here). The address is in my signature. Don't worry, I don't bite.

Yep, by the look of that ornate wooden bedhead, Mr Aldebashi has been doing life real hard. Hope he can get accustomed to having his face shoved hard into his prison issue pillow.

Sounds as though your American system of law enforcement is as slack as our Australian system. I do love to hear your penalties dished out of cumulative, rather than concurrent, years of jail time coupled with large monetary fines. As an ex-cop, rest assured you are not on your own when it comes to selective policing, it took me 2 years of push, shove and threat to have my matter heard simply because my accused were of the rank above Assistant Commissioner. Even the deaths of two fellow officers were not sufficient to crack the wall of silence when wealthy (public cash) powerful crooks pull the strings. It will forever be thus.

@mudbrick...

ain't that the way of the land. Such is the mighty shit sandwich of life; and we're all gonna get a bite. Yet, the more bread (old slang for money here in the US) you have, the less shit you have to eat...

Note that the police charged him with possession of stolen property and not breaking & entering or burglary, so it is possible he is not the thief but simply a buyer of a stolen macbook at a bargain price. Hope the thief gets busted as well.

If Joshua's lucky, the guy guilty of possession flips on the guy who sold him the laptop. Otherwise he's a lying sack and get's to play a hairy Mary Lou Retton for 90 days in the county lock up.

Joshua is lucky, same thing just happened to me. My macbook was stolen in a church parking lot (in my trunk). I have it registered on iCloud and I can see the location. I know where its at but its just not clear which house on the GPS on the app. If you guys wanna see the screen shots its on my blog.
