This link is to a story about a theft of an iMac in 2002, and the story became famous for its soap-opera quality. I recently found it again while searching for something else. It's a great read. (The program Timbuktu allows the remote control of a Mac from another Mac.)

That was an awesome story. It's always nice to hear the good guy winning.

Adding rep for putting a smile on my face :black:
