Dom's Laptop is in Iran - An Update

THMRK · 12 Apr 2013 at 13:39

Last night, the site was password protected.

He's just put it back up again saying that the people who had the laptop found the site and have agreed to return it. He's also apologised for posting the pictures to begin with, and has decided to let them keep it.

Weird but also cool.

What a crap ending.

Further news

The innocent new owners of my laptop have been in touch and are mortified about the story and are keen to return the laptop.

Given the huge error of judgement on my part in sharing the story and failing to respect their privacy I have asked them to keep it by means of an apology.

Errmmm

All that and still no laptop - dude.

I can't be the only one who's thinking "well of course they're going to object to their photos being on the internet and claim it wasn't them that stole it"?

Probably already had an insurance replacement anyway.

He's been assassinated and now someone's stolen his identity to start saying "everything is fine now, and I've let them keep the laptop" - *wears foil hat*

No you're not the only one thinking this.

In fact given their location and cultural background in regards to punishments for theft, it's EXACTLY what they'd do.

No mention on how they got it, let alone making it's way to Iran

I suppose being caught as a thief in Iran would mean a loss of a hand so they would be objecting

Probably not worth pursuing further then unless he really wants someone's hand chopped off.

As they offered it back after getting caught, i would have happily accepted it back, seems strange that he suggested that they keep it, but each to their own, its a weird world we live in

MisChief · 12 Apr 2013 at 14:11

Whaa.... Why would he.... :confused:

Avathar77 · 12 Apr 2013 at 14:13
