“This Guy Has My MacBook” Blog Helps Nab Thief

Joshua Kaufman’s MacBook was stolen from him way back in March. Luckily, he had installed a $15 app on his laptop called Hidden, which can track your computer “anywhere on the planet” and even take pictures of the people currently using your property. Though the Oakland Police were previously unable to help Kaufman due to a lack of resources, they were certainly interested once the Tumblr he launched last week went viral and got the attention of Good Morning America.

Guess what? Kaufman’s MacBook was located last night and returned to him today. But you can check out all of the pictures of “This Guy” doing various things with and to Kaufman’s laptop, including deleting his account.
Some speculate that this may just be a rather clever marketing scheme to promote Hidden. What do you think? My guess is that it’s not – wouldn’t it have been more effective to have the police cooperating and nabbing the suspect mere days later instead of months later?
