Laptop thief caught by victim

Stuff was everywhere, and the good stuff was gone missing. This was the view when thieves took about $5,000 worth of electronics, including a Macbook computer, from a home.

The victim, though, was smart. She used her computer's Back to Mac feature to check out the files on the machine, and activate the camera to take pictures of the perps.

Astonishingly, the perps were people who she had invited to a party a few weeks ago and so they were rapidly identified, and her property was recovered. (One of them is pictured on the left).

See, sometimes it really pays to be computer savvy!
