'Hope for humanity': thief returns stolen laptop data on USB
Ironically enough, this story makes me lose hope for humanity.
The professor, who admitted to being a little lax when it came to backing up data on his laptop, had left the bag hidden behind the stairwell of his apartment block when he made a short detour to the laundry room. Soon after, he realised his bag had vanished along with ten years of precious data. […] The calendar is extremely important. It is my life. Here I have documented the last ten years and beyond,” he said.
This professor is not only reckless enough to keep a single copy of his entire life’s work on a laptop but he then thinks it’ll be safe to temporarily “hide it” in a semi-public place while he does his laundry. He didn’t deserve to have his data returned.
Via indefensible.
