Joshua Kaufman didn't just sit back and watch when his laptop was stolen -- he continued to watch it being stolen, days later. Yup, thanks to Hidden, an app that collects webcam pics and screenshots when a computer is stolen, Kaufman knows just what his MacBook thief looks like.
The MacBook in question was lifted from interaction designer Kaufman's Oakland, California, apartment March 21, along with a few pieces of jewelry. Luckily, Kaufman had installed the Hidden app on his computer back in December, which allowed him to capture pictures of the thief -- as well as his Google ID -- and create a Tumblr dedicated to the missing computer, This Guy Has My MacBook, which went live Friday.
According to Kaufman, despite the fact that he has told police where the MacBook is -- thanks to Hidden -- no progress had been made on its recovery. When asked if he thinks he'll get his computer back, Kaufman replied: "I believe in the power of good."
