Revenge of the Nerds

A laptop-thief has found out the hard way why you should never mess with a geek after his techno-savvy victim decided to humiliate him on-line.

An internet entrepreneur was understandably not happy when his MacBook Air was stolen earlier this year, and he assumed he would never see it again.  However a couple of months later he realised a remote backup program he'd installed on the laptop was still running and backing up files- presumably belonging to the crook.

After looking through them, he was able to discover the identity of the person in possession of the computer and reported them to the Fuzz, but he didn't stop there.  He also looked at photos and videos of the alleged crook, including a cringe-worthy one of him dancing in front of the webcam and uploaded it to YouTube.  :o)
