So I was in Paradise Cafe today for lunch and it was jam packed. There was this guy that was sitting in a booth all by his lonesome and had a sweet lookin laptop. The dude gets a call on his cell phone and decides to take the call outside. I was perplexed because he just left his laptop all by itself. So, its now been 15 minutes and the guy is STILL outside on the phone!
I thought to myself that I really needed a new laptop and this one was there for the taking. Well, there were no cameras in there and it was so busy that no one would notice so I went up to it casually and folded it up and exited the opposite door from him. Like taking candy from a baby. :-)
And I dont feel too bad because the guy didnt have any business or work related stuff on there, just a couple of photo albums. Hey, if he is too stupid to leave his laptop alone for more than 15 minutes then he deserved it. [Reply]
I scared him off when I posted that fake story from the AP about it all be a stake out.. It's somewhere <--------------- there afew pages or so... [Reply]

Then if they find out its true they can use his IP address to identify him and then use this page as a confession...
Take my advice and call the San Diego County Sheriffs Department. They have jurisdiction over the entire county and can nail this bastard even if he lives outside the city limits. [Reply]
