It is nice to hear a story involving the police in which they're helpful and effective rather than spraying protesters/journalists/bystanders with pepper-spray.

  If that's what you think of police you've been reading reddit too much. There's also a bit of the man bites dog thing going on. Nice police: Normal, not news. Bad police: Very unusual, so news.

    I think the fact that the police officer was so involved with updating the writer is what stood out to me. It is rare that we see/hear a detailed explanation of what police work entails and unless we ourselves are the one they are speaking with it might never happen.

    When I saw the title, I wondered how getting your laptop stolen could get you busted for drugs. I can only suppose that, while I don't expect the average cop is a jerk, I did reflexively expect the average cop story to feature one.
