UPDATE: Mark Bao lets us know what happened to the thief. Details below in bold.

We've told you about thieves that post pictures of themselves on Facebook, using and flashing the stolen goods.

And now we present you with another addition to the list of wish-they-were-smarter-criminals-but-funnier-that-they're-not: a young man who preyed on a Massachusetts college student, used his victim's MacBook Air to take a picture of himself and record a video, the latter accessed by the computer-savvy victim and posted online.

Thank you for sharing Bear i read the story and skipped the video after i saw his face, hope he gets what is coming to him, even though he returned the laptop, some people you don't mess with and Mark Bao sounds like a really good guy with great skills and good intentions, another reason to recomend backups of important files, i worry about my son having his laptop with him in Dublin.
what goes around comes around

Couldn't agree with you more Jay! Keeping things backed up is a good habit to cultivate! It has saved my butt on more than one occassion!
