My laptop was stolen from the trunk of my car yesterday.
Today, I received this email:
---
So as much as i want to rationalize my actions, I understand buying stolen property is still stealing. I am the one who unfortunately bought your laptop from someone who likely stole it. I will eventually pay for my bad karma.
Berating me for my actions is useless.
I am deleting everything off of the laptop.
Is there anything that you want.
I am offering to back up to 160 gigs to another hard drive. There is only about 240 gigs worth of information.
I see that you have backed up most everything using time machine. If there is anything smaller like 4, 8, or 10 gigs worth I can do that faster to DVDs or flash drives.
I would have to buy another hard drive to get you the 160 gigs. Which i would if you need the info.
Again apologies for not having the integrity to turn down the offer to buy your laptop
