Laptop theives got no humanity
Joy forwarded us the story of her friend Bjorn, whose laptop was stolen by soulless open-arsed rat turd from a bar during happy hour. Good news is, thanks to a well-hung surveillance cam, the perp was caught in the act, and now, hopefully, his 15 minutes of YouTube fame will be followed by a bit more time in a far less pleasant venue.
Stealing a person’s computer is low. All those mp3s, torrent downloads, emails, site passwords and pornography is had to replace, or perhaps irreplaceable if one’s lazy about backups. I had it happen once, and I still like to think that the perp’s going to a special place in hell where they’re forced by demons to dry hump cactus plants and then bath in a dead sea.
Here’s the clip—the notes from YouTube say:thief (wearing camo hat and resembling dave attelle from insomniac starts a fake tab at the table on other side of the bar. then move to the 2 minute mark and see this punk slide in behind the bald guy and lift a bag and walk out. help find him or at least be weary next time you are out so some shifty, gutless punk doesn’t steal your stuff
Here’s a bit more info from the vic’s press release:
[The thief] hangs out in financial district bars, uses a stolen credit card to open a tab, and then cases the joint. He stole a laptop right out from someone’s chair last week at the Irish Bank. Help catch the thief and prevent further thefts in our neighborhood. You can see him in action on the surveillance video taken at the bar where he last stuck—instructions below. If you see him, please ask the establishment to check his credit card and/or call 911 or the SFPD non-emergency line (415) 553-0123.
