Laptop stolen from guy who had remote backup. Owner puts thief's dancing on facebook, 1 M views

MacBook owner puts alleged thief's dancing on YouTube

The first thing the alleged thief reportedly did was photograph himself. Then he filmed himself dancing to Tyga's "Make It Rain." Bao, naturally, was impressed by the software's performance rather more than he was by the alleged thief's.

"From the files on the computer and some legwork, I was able to track down who was, his Facebook page, his e-mail, and the infamous videos," he told CBS News.com in a story published yesterday.

Why are the videos infamous? Oh, Bao put one up on YouTube, where it has now enjoyed almost 1 million views.

You might be stunned into abandoning your plans to waltz this weekend when I tell you that the alleged thief contacted Bao and begged him for mercy.

With a gall that some might find just a little pathetic, he sent Bao a Facebook message that reportedly read, in part: "I know I am in no position to ask you for favors but Can you please put down the videos that you have put up of me."
