College Student Uses Tech Skills to Track Down Computer Thief

( http://gimundo.com/news/article/college-student-uses-tech-skills-to-track-down-computer-thief/ )

When Mark Bao's laptop was stolen a few months ago, he took the matter to the police, of course. But the tech-savvy 18-year-old college student also had a few tricks up his sleeve—and ultimately tracked down the thief single-handedly, using nothing but software, social media, and old-fashioned smarts.

Bao, who studies at Bentley University in Massachusetts, returned to his dorm room one day in February to discover that his room had been broken into, and his laptop was gone. There weren't any obvious clues to who the culprit was. However, Bao used a service called Backblaze to back-up his computer's data. The program allows remote access, so that users can log in to see what has been recently saved to the computer. As it so happened, the thief had snapped a picture of himself on Photo Booth—and, obviously not one to shy away from the spotlight, he'd even recorded a video of himself dancing.
