Newsvine - Photos from stolen laptop lead to man's arrest

Newsvine - Photos from stolen laptop lead to man's arrest: "SAN FRANCISCO — The images began arriving in Joshua Kaufman's inbox. The grainy photos are low-lit and intimate: a man curled up on a couch, sound asleep; the same man propped up against pillows on a bed, shirtless.

Who was this stranger sitting with Kaufman's stolen laptop?

Kaufman collected the images and took them to police, who did not help him. So he went online, publishing the pictures on Twitter and in a blog titled 'This Guy Has My MacBook.'

'People who followed me on Twitter retweeted it. It got picked up by social media and the press. It went super viral,' he said. On the same day that he posted his website on Twitter, police came calling."
