The sad part is the guy in the picture probably didn't actually commit the burglary. It's not uncommon in Bay Area to have your stolen bike / camera / iPods turn up on CL a few hours later. The cabbie probably the MacBook off somebody for cheap.
Don't get me wrong, he got what he deserved, but the true instigator of this crime will probably never be known.
- pdx 15y agoIf he indeed bought it off CL, then why would you say "he got what he deserved"?
- hyperbovine 15y agoIt's very very obvious when somebody is selling stolen property on CL. No box, manuals, receipt or power adapter? Asking 25% of retail? If nothing else, there is usually some stock picture or none at all, and the spelling/grammar/punctuation are terrible. In short, "you just know." To answer your question, if you knowingly buy stolen goods, you deserve to be punished. (I emphasize that this whole scenario is just conjecture on my part.) Edit: also, there's a screen cap of him /erasing the other guy's account/. I mean come on ...
- johnyzee 15y agoI am surprised he is not worried about getting slapped with an epic lawsuit over this. The guy in the pictures has had his reputation absolutely destroyed, complete with pictures of the inside of his home, pictures of him half-naked and pictures of his sleeping child. If it turns out he had been acting in good faith all along... ouch.
