Sweet! It reminds me of the guy who caught a thief by using Timbuktu to find his sister's iMac.

Way to go man!

This story has finally made me register here on MacRumors, despite having been a lurker for years (at least it's felt like years).

All I can say is the coolest part of the story is the guy who took 23 pictures of the fraudster's house for the man. That blew me away.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! *group hug for mac users everywhere*

I know we all love our macs, and this just goes to show that we are the craziest, yet most passionate people about this little company we call Apple.

Congradulations keltorsori!

LOL Brilliant story. Hope you recover some of what you lost!

That is absolutely awesome. It just goes to show how if you keep at something, you will almost always get results! That must have been so tiring, but SO worth it. :D

I can't wait to see this guy's mug shot.

Apple users unite! :p

Because it's a fantastic one. I've been beaming all day since reading about it. I was so stoked to hear that someone went so far as to send him maps of the neighborhood, did recon on the house and its vehicles... man, it feels so damn GOOD to be a Mac user!

Bravo, gang. Everyone gets a healthy pat on the back for this one.

:D

TRUE. That guy is done in this country. Mac Public Enemy #1. He better stay in the slammer until he undergoes a complete change of appearance, (I'm sure the fellow inmates will take care of that) because he'll have a nation of Mac users looking to key his car and T.P. his front lawn.

This has to be the bigest group effort from an online community I've ever heard of. Catching a career conman for stealing powermacs from people you don't know in real life.

mac me proud to be a part of the mac community
