The Wild Tale Of A Stolen Laptop In Brooklyn

Analytics ninja Sean Power lost his laptop in Brooklyn - it was stolen, although it may not have been stolen by the man who had it - and using Prey he was able to track it to a particular bar near City Hall in downtown Brooklyn.Sean got some snaps of the guy and his browsing habits and asked that some of his Twitter followers visit the bar to wait for the police. When the police refused to come because Powers had not filed a report the Twooters took the matter into their own hands. Again, to be clear, the man in the photo probably just paid the thief for the laptop in what we can only assume is good faith.
