To Catch A Thief

If you don’t know what I do for a living I am a Network Security Specialist and I deal with things like lost\stolen laptops with important data on them from time to time. On one of the security list I am on somebody posted this MP3 of a Berkeley professor who had his laptop stolen and tried to scare the thief in his class.

I don’t want to call the guy a liar, but some of his story seems far fetched and other parts of it are just flat out crazy (the part about him being the only one who can verify the data hasn’t been accessed). The kicker is the part where he said Microsoft called him and asked him why he had registered two copies of XP.
