Rip of the Week: Laptop Thief Flees on Bicycle, Nabbed by Police
Here’s a fun one for this week’s Rip of the Week. A thief in Boise, Idaho fled from police on a bicycle, with a stolen laptop.
KTVB.com reports that the crook tried to dump the laptop, but no dice. Many thanks to @news4Boise on Twitter for the tip.
It’s good that they nabbed him, and this also diverts one’s mind from the 75,000 more people breached by a stolen laptop from Irish energy company Bord Gáis.
