Wanted: Magnanakaw ng Laptop

Caught in the act of thinking how to lift the laptop just in front of where he was sitting. The office's laptop. An iBook G4.

We were volunteers in an event, you see, and lot's of guys were sewing dolls with kids and kids at heart, sitting on beanie bags. So this guy came in, sat on one of the beanie bags for some time, not once touched a thread, and just waited for the people to stop noticing him. Good thing we have a witness. Someone actually saw him take the bag with the laptop inside and leave with it. Too bad she didn't know he wasn't part of the volunteers. The damned guy just did a good job blending in.

I wasn't there when the laptop was stolen. I entrusted it in the care of someone else. Note to self: never ever leave anything valuable in another's hands.

Attached is the police report. Not that you'll understand the events, what with the kind of english the policeman had, but you'll know that this is real and not just stupid spam material.

Another thing you should know, The Podium doesn't have a security camera, at least they had none when the laptop was stolen on Feb 20, 2008. I hope they install some soon. Police dogs, no matter how well trained, just can't sniff out criminal intent.
