Report to police.
Do not let him create a secondary market for stolen laptops. It would become an economic incentive for the stealers to steal more laptops.
Research has shown that tolerance of public crime gradually leads to an increase in major crime. (Read about this in one of the pop economic books, not sure which). Do you want to keep your city a safer place to live?

- aniket_ray 16y agoYes, that's the one. Thanks a lot. I figured from that page that I read about it in either the Tipping Point or in the Freakonomics. I hadn't read about its criticisms before, interesting read.
