On March 21, Joshua Kaufman’s MacBook was stolen from his Oakland apartment. Luckily, he had installed a ‘Find My MacBook’-esque application called Hidden just days prior. For those not aware, Hidden allows users to track down stolen Macs with the ability to remotely take (and save) screenshots via the computer’s iSight camera while in use by the assailant.
Armed with this 21st-century technology and with little news of getting his MacBook back, Kaufman started the Tumblr blog “This Guy Has My MacBook” on which he posts the collected screenshots of his new MacBook’s “owner”. Joshua notes that he has contacted police over the issue, but they can’t arrest the crook due to lack of resources.
Meanwhile, Kaufman gets to watch this guy’s every move, remotely and without him knowing, as he awaits for Jean Quan, mayor of Oakland, to get involved.
