Sometimes, Life is Fair

So a computer science student got his Macbook Air stolen while he was in the commons room. That wasn't fair.

Later, he logs on to his automatic backup web site, and finds that the computer is still running his automatic backup.

He downloads the most recent files, finds out that the thief has logged on to his own Facebook account, and gets other personal details. Enough to identify the thief. Turns in the evidence to police. Thief gets arrested. Macbook gets returned.

But student decides that still wasn't fair. He found a dancing video recorded by the thief, and decided to post it. Titled it "Don't steal computers from people who know how to use computers". Let's just say the thief can't dance. Sometimes, life is fair.

That is awesome indeed! I'm just glad the thief wasn't trying to dance the "dick slang" sans clothing.
