WOW! Social media doing something GOOD!
A man who left his laptop in a bar in NYC, recovers it, essentially through twitter. Once the news of it broke via tweet, strangers to the Canadian man were on the lookout FOR him!
As the laptop owner witnessed (from another country) the “thief” using his computer for pictures, online banking, and other general uses. Using free software to track the device – – an amazing idea that would be worthy of a Mike Huber final paper on ideas – – the laptop was found. It was then hunted down by virtual strangers, who were connected to this crime solving adventure because of TWITTER. Amazing.
